Smarts

Five children chased one another around the encampment, tossing up dirt as they ran. 

"I don't know why people keep gavin' kids at a time like this. Selfish. Bringin' children into this sadness... I hope I never have kids," Jack said.

"Hm. You know, the smartest people I know seem to vow not to have children. And most of the dumbest folks I seen have ten. Sounds to me like that's the selfish part...lettin' breeding only to the idiots. That's all we gonna have left if you bookworms keep on that way."

"Bringing a life in this world only for you to die and leave it alone, and then it to die eventually is the evil part. Plus, my family ain't to smart, except my father, of course. Intelligence doesn't always run through blood, Hank."
