We can handle much larger population densities. We will get
more clever with resources. Worrying about "population control"
in non first world countries is a form of xenophobia. The idea
of offing the "less worthy" is old 19th century thinking and it
amazes me ppl still think this way. == Fear keeps news going.
Believe it if you like but there's no more common headline than
"doom and gloom" in our lifetimes. Gets old. Nobody checks the
failures of these predictions. Last apocalyptic prediction to
come true was..... None of them. What predictions did we get
right from 40 yrs ago? How many more we got wrong? Too many
prophets, now wearing lab coats preaching the same apocalypse so
we'll listen to them. == you act as if global warming is the
only doom and gloom prediction anybody's ever made. I've see
many more predictions most wrong. Maybe this ones right. That's
fine. But what does this have to do with population control? ==
eh, while I _do_ believe it's practical and pragmatic to make
changes to human activities that make a better environment (part
of a "give a hoot, don't pollute" type of thing), I think a lot
of the bru-haha is a bit "sky is falling". Still, they got
people like the Pope and the Dalai Lama to make their speeches
to their peoples, and the UN started giving it some serious
talk, so I suppose it's an "end justifies the means" and I'm ok
with that in this case. But I'm a "true believer" about very few
things. I can see when something is a practical course to follow
but my belief in it or lack of belief doesn't matter.
