I see where Awstrailia is contemplating a 2 child max law /

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.



Fewer people, you idiot, not "less" people. Duh!
