Great post!

Speaking personally, it is all about me; I'm selfish and I admit it...which is why I've chosen not to ever have children.
It is not possible for leftists to care about their own children. They care about themselves, their image, and their legacy. Children are a means for leftists to increase their longevity, a form of immortality. This is sort of like how monarchs regard family bloodlines. The children are property to them and have completely relative value.
If they genuinely care about their own kids then they qualify as confused moderates, not leftists.
Take a peek at her loony, new age spirituality website. It's a hoot!
The women profiled all claim that their kids are doing fine. Sure, they might be doing "better" now that the mother who would abandon them finally has, but it's a stretch to say they're doing fine. I can't imagine the pain my sons would feel if their mother just up and took off one day. I can't imagine any child who is abandoned by the woman who carried them in her womb would be able to grow up without some emotional damage that they'll carry with them for the rest of their lives, --damage that will affect their future relationships with their own children.
It's just absolutely selfish. There's no other word to describe it. This woman emotionally crippled her children so that she could give the world another book on Hiroshima.
Then a wise decision you have made.
