Children

Moral assumptions

Nor in Afghanistan nor in the Netherlands did I go the movies. Based on an ad in the paper I decided to go “Gone Baby Gone.” It was about time.
"Gone Baby Gone" turned out to be a very pleasant surprise.
The last time I recommended a movie here (“In the Valley of Elah”); it tanked at least at the box office.
“Gone Baby Gone” is a movie about our moral assumptions, especially our moral assumptions regarding children.
Some children might be better off without their real parents. In other words some people should not reproduce.
