I see where Awstrailia is contemplating a 2 child max

Makes sense. Back circa 1947 agro-scientists developed a

new type of rice
that yeilded 7X as much food for the same land, et

cetera. Starvation
disappeared, right? Hell no! People just made more

babies until now 7X as
many are starving. Same goes for all the environmental

band aids. It
doesn't help to reduce individual polution, then make

more individuals.
Unless we control and reduce human population, nature

will do it for us -
prolly using less than happy methods.


Could not agree more, Vito. We don't need more oil, nuke

power, wars in odd
places, or any of that stuff. If the population of the

earth was cut by 70%
there would be enough of everything for everybody, and the

impacts of pollution
would also shrink by 70%. I personally believe that man

contributes to Global
Cilmate change and a host of other ills, but I see

reducing the population as
the REAL cure for all of it. For openers, lets stop

cheering research on ways to
make people live longer. It may make some people feel

good, but it is extremely
counter-productive if you want the world to become a

better place.

We need less people.
