isn't it funny that it use to be the DINK's 9double income no kids) that use to be labeled selfish. Now as with most upside down morality it is those who have kids. Start talking about killing a few animals for food and many of these anti growist freak out. Very funny indeed. Hopefully those with a bit of sense will out grow the mother earth worshipers.

Ah runner, I have news for you. Without a mother earth, you'll have
nothing, no runner no offspring, no bibles, no churches.

Should the earth,s core cool down eventually, the planet will
lose its atmosphere, it will become a spinning lump of rocks,
a bit like mars really.

That thought should cheer you up!

My interest in this issue centres on the rise of instrumentalism and that's at the core of the anti-pop push. If we treat people solely as economic units, we can easily reduce the number of units through population control. Units have no morality, ethics, family, feelings, reciprocal relationships, etc.

Yet the anti-pops have consistently failed to show how they would reduce the world's population. Their 'ends justifies the means' rhetoric sounded like something out of Nazi Germany. And their ignorance of even the most basic economic principles was insulting.

The media have already left the population issue but the sociology and psychology of their push is interesting. The anti-pops were a sign of the times. They hitched a rise on the global environmental movement but like some cults, simply went too far. Their prophesies of doom and gloom turned people off and for people on the left of politics, the anti-pops seemed like anti-immigration loonies.

cheryl;reducing the population is very simple; just encourage women to limit their family to a maximum of two children

the 2nd largest economy on the planet aims to stabilize its population within 20 years

the now 3rd largest economy has a population which is gradually declining

unfortunately the largest economy is full of americans
