OP is certainly not politically correct, but I don't see how that is a reason to down vote. It's not like they suggested mistreating children or so. Somehow would hope HN to be open to different views.
Didn't notice (now too late to edit) that parent and grandparent are the same - Duncan. So guess I fell for the ruse here.
Anyway: above statement still stands no matter who objected to the original post. Still feel stupidly manipulated ;-)
