Yeah, it's the answer. To what? I'll (again?) remind you of the fact
that we only borrowed the Earth from our children. Maybe it's true
about the high(est) standard of living. But this happens by pillaging
nature and is that what we like? I'd give you a good advice: if you
like to go on living like this, DON'T TAKE ANY CHILDREN YET. Because
you proved not to be able to take care of yourself, so I'd not want
your children to suffer from the things you cause right now.

And finally: do you like differences in income? I guess you earn
enough money but do you like yourself earning a big deal of money at
the cost of others? Okay it's true communism is a bad system, but
capitalism, esp. of the sort existing in the USA, is that bad too.
Differences in income, okay, but not THAT MUCH.

Well It's just a Monday morning and I realise this reply isn't that
good, but if I wake up and read a letter containing such short-
sightedness... You'll get back such a thing... Probably.
