- Try one of these instead:
-
- "Have fewer children than I did."
- "Have few or no children, like I did."
- "Encourage others to have fewer children than their parents,
- like I am doing with this post."
- "Support legislation and legislators that deal with
- population-related concerns."
- "Educate."
-
- Not a flame, but your answer seems too pat. And by shifting the
- responsibility to someone else, you've missed the point.
-
- As for me, since I am planning to retire to the woods next year,
- I won't be able to afford children. :-) :-).
