Intelligent Ladies, Give A Little Gift To The Future

First – ANNOUNCEMENTS! Three joyous things to report.

1. The Chronicles of IDIOT is now available on Apple and Barnes and Noble! We are close to having it as available as we possibly can for being self-published.
2. Frank Balara has reviewed The Chronicles of IDIOT on his blog (http://frankbalara.blogspot.com/2011/10/review-of-chronicles-of-idiot-by-erin.html) which is also posted on Amazon.com and goodreads.com.
3. As you can see, the blog has some new features including two new pages (at the top) to show all the places where you can purchase a paperback or e-book version of The Chronicles of IDIOT and an easier place to preview the book's first 5 chapters.

Hello there intelligent ladies, you certainly have your career in order. Finished school, almost got it paid off and now you have a great job. Now may be the time to think of the future. Do you want a future filled with idiots? Well, if you don't have children, that very well may happen.

The movie Idiocracy by Mike Judge, makes an argument that if only the stupid people reproduce, then we will select out intelligence. Do we really want this to happen? I don't. I know that it is hard to “have everything” and therefore, you may have to give up some things for children.

As a Mother of young children I can tell you the first thing you will have to give up is cleanliness. Kids are usually not neat! The second thing you will have to give up is sleep. I still occasionally wake up at all hours because of the training my sleep schedule got from when my children were babies. The third thing you will have to give up is being able to watch/play whatever you want whenever you want in front of your children. I cannot watch certain television shows and my hubby has to curb his video game addiction unless the children are asleep. This third one is a big judgment call on your part. You may be fine with watching Saw with your kids, but don't complain to me when they try to saw off your finger.

I certainly think that despite the things you have to give up, you get so much more when you have children. And in the end, you are giving a genetic gift to the future. This is the easiest legacy there is in the world. Hopefully, the future that will be wonderful for your children. All we can do is try in our lifetime to make it better, and hope that your kids will do the same.

So, come on ladies! Being in a loving relationship helps, but if your career is in order, and bringing home the bacon, all you really need is a plan and a sperm bank.
