Reply #17: It's a patrilineal line

[Ravenseye]

Just because she's a female, my daughter is part of the family and will always be so, just like my sister, my grandmother, my aunts...heck they're the heart and soul of my family.

But the line has always been that way, and I dont' feel like being the one that changes it. The name IS important.

Also I don't jive with the overpopulation game. If we all switch to vegetarian living, the U.S. alone could feed what..20 billion?
