Absolutely... and I was thinking about that as I was typing my first post, but you are correct, I don't think this is the way to go about it... As someone suggested elsewhere - previous generations used to have wars and plagues to control overpopulation... we don't... yet...

Well, they did not consciously do it. We are on the way to semi consciously doing it, by breeding 'superbugs' through overuse of antibiotics, especially in the production of food.

used to have = there used to exist, not that there was a conscious choice to do it for population control...

And yes, that is one reason why I said yet... another is all out war with someone like Iran...

Apparently, we've all (well, maybe not CSS) been having far too much sex, and it's bad for the environment... Along comes Eco Sex... clickety[^] Interesting read if only for a laugh, but a truly scary punchline - "the best kind of sex is that which doesn't produce babies"... now this is true for most of your life, but these childless eco-warriors don't just want people to reduce the number of kids they have, but to consider not having ANY!!

The main problem with this is that it is getting to the wrong people, that is the educated, reasonably wealthy (by world standards) people. This group is already shrinking in population. Try convincing the uneducated, dirt poor hoards not to have kids, first you need to educate them, with education comes a wider horizon and hopefully a more sane (from my POV) viewpoint on breeding 6+ kids to a family. Oh yeah and shoot every 3rd politician in Africa, no make that anywhere.

Although I hardly qualify as a "greenie", I think the point is somewhat valid. I don't think it is a necessity to have children, not for everyone. I certainly don't think it is necessary to have 6+ children per household. I would never suggest that regulating this by law would be an acceptable approach, after all that's been tried with horrific outcome. All I'm saying is that education on the consequences of birthing a child could be beneficiary. Even the simplest of minds (he's in here somewhere...) should be able to understand that we do not have the resources to susteain an infinite number of people, and I for one think the current population growth is scary. Ironically it's for a large part due to our achievements, as several others has pointed out before me. More accurate weapons lets us kill more precisely, increased efficiency in drugs lets us live longer (and forces the bacteria to morph), and so on. I will not claim I have the solution to this, nor even an IDEA of a solution. But I do believe the problem is easy enough to identify. //L

*sets his stopwatch* How long, you think, until Pillowpants starts ranting about how they're all eugenicists preaching forced abortions and roving death squads with laser sharks and VX poison gas?
Proud to have finally moved to the A-Ark. Which one are you in?

There is a group of nut jobs that advocates homosexuality for this reason. Overpopulation is a real crisis that is looming, but I'm not sure that this book is going to solve it.....

Bah, these situations are all self correcting. Global warming will kill off all the excess people. These fewer people are better for the environment so the world will cool again and start the cycle over. The system works :laugh:
