Childless Teacher

What are my genes
Compared to my ideas?
Would I rather spread blue eyes
Or good sound sense?

I vote for sounds sense. I have a step-son, PhD in bio-chemistry. He couldn't find his way out of a brown paper bag, but never forgets a word he's read. Scary guy. J

A very pertinent question for a teacher to ask! Being a tecaher myself, I sometimes wonder if I can go on being a teacher for my whole life! Simple words conveying a very deep idea.

it seems the passing on of genes and the in/ability to think sensibly are quite directly related. with the gross overpopulation of the planet in relation to SHARING available resources and pollution, unrestricted breeding becomes much less than sensible. so in the act of passing genes, sensibility is precluded. and so it goes, more genes passed, less sense shared. i have to say here that anyone that cant see my point is not looking around them very much...

great, really makes a good point, and uses the right words, short and sweet. Thought provoking like most of your other writing.
