He's 2 years old. How much of a difference would autism really make in trying to settle him down at that age? (No, really, how tame are 2 year olds in general?)
Either way, I support giving screaming children the boot from airplanes.
Evilbeagle basically said what I wanted to about this.
This reminds me of the updated Candyland that was released a few years ago, which I absolutely hate the look of. I don't care that they "politically corrected" the kids drawn on the board, but all the characters look so much more goofy and cartoony than they did for the version I grew up playing.
What if I forget about the web page I was looking at in favor of getting lost in a book for a while? Does that count? :) Either way, I have a rather long attention span.
Re: people getting more stupid-- probably not. Now we just have a huge forum in which the idiots of the world may prominently display their idiocy to all the other idiots of the world.
So I view the choice not to reproduce as an honorable effort to guard future generations.
They'd be better off having kids and instilling them with good, noble qualities, then. Genes don't make someone a Nazi or any other kind of fascist. And even if by chance some descendant of theirs got into fascism (and was aware of their genetic heritage--why pass that knowledge on?) they'd still be the leader of a group of detested outcasts. Who cares if Neo-Nazis think someone's the bee's knees? They don't matter in the grand scheme of things; if someday Nazis should have power, well... dictators aren't spawned from the aether... social conditions would have to be in very bad shape, in which case it would just be someone else stepping up to the role. It's still just bad, silly, superstitious logic.
All the talk of them "really" having the Hitler surname and carrying on his genes...
If the name Hitler is not on any of their marriage or birth certificates, why identify so strongly with it as their "true" name? Why say there's an "Adolf Hitler" out there if that's not the name he uses or is officially identified by? (Actually, why name the eldest son Adolf in the first place?)
And the sons aren't directly descended from THE Hitler, nor would there be anything inherently "bad" about their genes [even if they were his sons] that not having children should seem logical to them. People are funny creatures with all their bloodline mysticism.

No, I tend to think the oil companies are making a fortune. I usually forget individual people sometimes own the stations.

More to the point: wow, an overweight Japanese woman!
