>>People who have babies are more apt to plan for the future.<<

Then why do we have so many unwed mothers on welfare? Why so many unmarried deadbeat dads?

What is meant by "planning for the future"?

What I could consider to be planning for the future -- delaying gratification so that one achieves an advanced education, or learns a trade. Saving money in order to buy a house, a vacation home, trips abroad, a nice car, beautiful art, nice furniture. Putting money away for your retirement.

Planting trees. Volunteering for public service. Teaching the illiterate.

None of these things have anything to do with sexuality.

I have three siblings. Two are childless. One is homosexual.

One of my childless siblings is in Tibet, setting up a hospital in a monastery, and then will travel to Indonesia to assist in recovery from the tsunami. He has an advanced nursing degree.

The other childless sibling is in France, polishing up her French, in hopes of getting a job in France teaching English.

Can you tell by my description which one is homosexual?
