I should know better than to hunt rooks with a pitchfork ... 1. "To have responsibility for." This sounds like a synonym for "borrowing trouble." But if you insist ... see 4. below. 2. "To raise/rear." This appears to be a combination of 1. above and the opportunity to impress a child's mind with your ideas. My bug line expresses my opinion exactly. Ideas are nothing but the shadows cast by words. 3. "To love." This is highly speculative--what if you come to hate the child instead of loving it? You'll be worse off than before. But if you're willing to live with somebody on the mere chance of coming to love him ... see 4. below. 4. Take a wife! The arguments for adopting a child apply with greater force, since the rewards are greater. In passing, I note that Topher Eliot will be doing just that. Congratulations, Topher! -- Col. G. L.
