Apropos of a couple of discussions on wiscon lately I want to express the following, which I posted in alt.polyamory in a thread about said discussions:

Every time I try to describe my feelings about children it boils down to "Um...they are people." As with adults, I have all sorts of superficial thoughts about the ones I don't know - positive, neutral, suspicious, whatever, depending on my mood and their behavior in the moment - and I tend to like the ones I know, especially if they take an interest in me.

Also, I think that hate speech directed at any people is ugly.

For the record, I don't have or want children of my own.

One of the Kaiser clinics took out four handicapped parking spots to put in pregnant women spots. It's pretty annoying because if they really have that much trouble walking in the parking garage, they're probably eligible for a temporary handicapped parking tag and could use a handicapped spot. If they don't have that much trouble, they should park with the other able-bodied folk.
