A few more points...

"If you do not treat children as property (which you say you do not), then what you claim to believe runs counter to what you practice, making you a hypocrite or ineffective, or both."

Ok, look at wage slaves, they aren't necessarily treated all that badly. In fact in the days of slavery, some masters would treat their slaves so good that they were pampered more than their WIVES!

As for my offspring..my position of parental ownership does not make me a hypocrite just because I have decided to treat them really well and spoil them.

"Human beings are not property, period, regardless of age."

This is purely a statement based on IDEOLOGY. It is not a universal law. Animals are slaves and eaten, and its I fine line from humans becoming the same, as humans ARE animals.
