Philosophy Wire: Children? Yes, but not with us!

Philosophy Wire by Spiros Kakos [2013-01-01]: Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie go for vacation at Caicos islands, along with 12 nannies to take care of their children so that they can enjoy vacation free. [source: web news] Other people trie countless times to have a child with no success and Angelina and Brand - who just can go into the "store" (call me Africa) and buy one - want to get rid of them. This is our civilization: we want to have children for status, as a kind of "property", as a means to show off and perhaps as a way to satisfy our vanity (or just to have someone to take care of us when we get old). Besides that, children as just a burden.
