More and more, my decision in 1965

Not to have any children seems justified. I made it based on global population concerns. Today, I'd base it on climate change and other concerns, but I'd make the same decision. Of course, those are related to the original concern, anyhow.

It's a sad thing...truly.

Sorry. As to children, I have three, all adults. Perhaps you could borrow one occasionally.

A lot of people can't look back without a dumptruck load of regret about this or anything. It's great that you can be happy with your decisions instead of second-guessing yourself.

My only regret for us is that you didn't give us a precinct full of voting Democrats!

I am very happy I made the same decision.

Even my parents agree.
