Dear
Editor,
While many are
so concerned
about the
country
producing
enough
children to
pay for our
pensions in
the years
ahead, as the
article, "UK
baby shortage
will cost £11
billion",
suggests, it
seems to me
that no matter
how many we
produce, when
they realise,
as they surely
will as they
grow up, that
WE, their
parents and
grandparents, have
plundered
and spoiled
the planet,
along with
THEIR future,
their attitude
towards us is
not likely to
be quite as
thankful and
loving as we
imagine. Far
from looking
after us and
keeping us in
the
unsustainable
style of life
to which we
have become
accustomed, it
wouldn't
surprise me
(nor would I
blame them) if
they beat us
to death, as
an
appropriate expression
of "gratitude", and
to be rid of
us.
