Doug;

Good idea! Now, the question is "How young is young"?

I once heard two Ph.D.’s on public television state they had the solution to the worlds shortages of material goods. The contention expressed by these two delightful men was simple. Each man was under 5’ 4” tall and suggested anyone taller than them should be eliminated. This would allow greater distribution of existing materials to allow clothing more people as an example. It was the fault of peoples over 5’ 4” tall that shortages of material goods exist in the world. These two fine gentlemen were from the academic world and spent an hour discussing this viewpoint.

The above viewpoint is all well and good until someone comes along with the same thought and is 5’ 3” tall. Then ones perspective might change. :)
