From Jim Schenk’s Saluting the Childless:

“And so I salute you and honor you who do not have children. It is you we must emulate in this society - you, who have had to deal with the biological and cultural pressures: “Suzy, when are you going to make us grandparents?” “Poor Suzy, she doesn’t have children yet, I wonder if she can’t have them.” It is you who must deal with the continued conversations about our children. I also want to salute those who have only one child, or who stopped at two children - I salute each of you, no matter how many children you have, if you have controlled the drive to have more children. We must hold you as heroes of the sustainability movement.”
