Idiot-proofing...

aIf germ-proofing has resulted in the rise of deadly super-germs, what will come of making things idiot-proof?

We're living in the age of anti-Darwinism where only the idiots are still breeding.
The people you love - the ones you think are great parents with fantastic kids - stop at two, or even one, or spend their life travelling the word childless.
Then you meet people with three kids to three different arseholes. (What happened to once bitten, twice shy?)

Or the woman I met a couple of years ago with 12 children, who found a new partner when her teenagers stopped being eligible for pension payments and maintenance - and then found herself in hospital, in labour, at the same time as her 17-year-old daughter.
It was a joy to see them down the street together with matching prams, sharing a cigarette.
