	I do.  Marriage is not something that should be rewarded by a
government, not to mention procreation.  Marriage and childbirth are not
some beneficial deviations of character or intellect above the abilities
of most people; even the least productive and least contributory members
of society fall in love to the point of desiring a permanent relationship
with another similarly useless individual.  Hitler was married.  How many
parents will engage in excessive scorn, or even spite, of their children,
due to the children's 'C' (average) GPA?  Already in this country we have
parents who hastily resort to physical abuse when their child makes so
much as a 'D' in a particular class.  A tendency to shoot first and ask
questions later would certainly arise if adults were unable to recieve
governmental rewards because their kids were of "average" intellect.  Would
you be surprised to learn that two people married and had children in or-
der to improve their financial status?  The above solution is no better
than the liberal tendency to "throw money at problems," as Limbaugh says.
It is a form of welfare.  Monetary acquisition is an invalid incentive to
do anything because money easily manufactures immorality and it ignores
natural inclination.  If you had the choice, would you hire a musician
who genuinely loved music, or one who sought the salary you offered?  Or,
more contextually, would you rather have your child tought by an instructor
who enjoyed teaching, or one who made sure that your child knew how to
pass a standardized test in order to garner a salary increase?  The point
to be made is that money is no reliable medium of adjudication.  It is
not like the pill which exposes neglected teeth by covering them with red
matter once chewed.  The ability to pass a scan-tron exam does not indi-
cate a good educational system.  Probe, if you will, the student and pro-
fessor mentality at today's college campus.  Shameful (liberal) things are
being taught and learned there; these colleges include such well-respected
institutions as Harvard and Berkeley (well, Berkeley's always been turvy).

	I hope that none of you staunch Democrats will avoid replying to
my messages simply because I'm black.
