Your attitude towards children is just as disturbing to me as that of others.
Let us grant genetic imperitives their due, but let us also believe that
people are more than their genetic or biological imperitives. We can use our
understanding of the rules of survival to make our world a little better,
but, because we are people and can think, we don't just have a act according
to the rules of biology.
You say that children are sometimes not fun. You forgot to say that
sometimes they are fun, and satisfying, and wonderful. And they are all of
these not because I am selfishly fixated upon the survival of my genes or my
memory or my ideas, but because they are individuals, they are themselves,
and watching them grow and develop is satisfying for their sakes, not mine.
Most of what you were saying sounds more like Rosanne than what I believe you
intended.
