There are prominent posters that have great, great, grandchildren on the way, I believe.
I have one grandchild that is 26 years old. We don't get on very well. I was so looking forward to having a grandson but we never really hit it off from very early on.
I spent the first 23 years of my life growing up in Central Africa after being born in London, I traveled on lots of holidays to South Africa and also quite a few luxury sea cruises plus overseas trips back to England. Came to NZ in 1973.
That's why it rankles when a pea-brain like heisenberg tries to say to me that the main raison d'etre in life is to compete in the economy and chase after dollars as if I haven't already done that and seen it for the futile rat race that it is with such poor rewards even if you are a winner, a bigger house, a better car, more colour tv's, 21st century junk.
Studying a bit of Philosophy is a lot more interesting than scrabbling after money.

It's not the least charm of a theory that it is refutable. The hundred-times-refuted theory of "free will" owes its persistence to this charm alone; some one is always appearing who feels himself strong enough to refute it - Friedrich Nietzsche
