Personally, I couldn't care less what sort of "person" you are - or think you are.
But we do know your actions -
Because you won't stand by your words, we can't trust them. You even claim to lie on the internet (on this website yet). You admit to taking advantage of lonely women just because you're "horny". You imply you don't want kids (or their mothers) around; claiming it was the best decision you ever made.
What is absolutely astounding though? - you claim you have no kids, and imply no regular woman. But amzazingly, not having walked in the mocassins of a parent, you still presume to tell everyone else how they should take care of their own kids.
Unbelievable!
Pdxrailtransit is right-on!
We need less of that sort, less fascist meddling in our private lives; and more of reliable and safe means to get our kids and grandkids back and forth. Whether that is between the homes of unfortunately divorced parents, or between the homes of parents and grandparents, or even to school and back - it is the same need.
PS for Earnest -
For several decades up until the early forties, the Sacramanto Northern Railway in Northern California, ran a pair of trains affectionately (but unofficially) known by the trainmen as "The School Train"; dropping the kids off at a specially made flag stop (yup - unmanned) one city block from the high school and eight blocks east of the regular depot. It picked the kids up in neighboring towns to the east, some also at unmanned stations.
These were not special trains with just kids on them, but part of the regular long distance (for the era) schedule (Chico-Sacramento-SanFrancisco); trains 1/103 westbound in the morning, and 26/116 eastbound. But the special stops and the timing were arranged to suit the high school schedule. And yes, a transfer at an unmanned location was involved for a few.
So does this must mean that young teenagers of the era were trustworthy enough to be left unsupervised, and that adults of the era were law abiding and protective enough; to make this safe? Well, it went on for decades, and no one ever raised cain about it. So what the hell has happened to us since!?
