  • Re: No Mention of Gross Immorality of Overpopulation

    Well of course. If we continue to grow the population exponenentially, the only possible eventual outcome will be a world where excess births are balanced by premature deaths. It's just mathematics, the world cannot hold an infinite number of people. So at some point it will become immoral to over breed.

  • The Cost Of Reckless Sexual Appetite

    The Abortion Cartell is making Billions on plaing their bets between a zipper vs a knife. Now the Cartell prospers in the same fashion as the Bank prospers when one bounces a check. In the end does it really matter if it was by accident or reckless disregard? If an honest mistake, one can call the Bank and pleads one's case for mercy. ...

  • Good for you!

      I agree with the concept of ''autonomy''; that's what's really at stake for women.  I'd like to make the controversial observation that five of the Supreme Court Justices--Kennedy, Scalia, Thomas, Roberts, and Alito--are Catholic. Catholicism forbids abortion. Should we consider limiting the number of members of a given religion that can be ...

  • Paying families to have kids???

    Are you nuts? The Earth is already way over populated. If anything we should be making laws to limit the number of children families have. Cant you see that the over population of the planet is at the root of all polution, drought and really even war? We dont have the means to provide enough food, clothes and shelter for everyone as it is, ...

  • There are simply too many of US

    The bubble of global human population - made possible mostly by the easy expoitation of cheap fossil fuels - is possibly the largest problem we humans (and many other species) will face in the not too distant future. $4 - $5 - $6+ gas in the USA is nothing compared to the effect that the shrinking supply of energy will have on world food ...

  • Peak oil is real - bigger problems ahead

    Gas @ $4gal. IS extraordinarily cheap - and even if it rises to $5 or $6gal. or beyond, this may be the least of our problems. There are some obvious dependencies on cheap energy - our whole suburban and drive-thru life style: In the very near future, our vast suburban housing developments are likely to become slums - or ghost towns. Not only ...

  • Kunstler has a point

    It's easy to dismiss some of the selective melodrama in ''The Long Emergency'' or to take offense at some of the politically incorrect constructs in his new novel. One could argue the point, however, that our notions of politically correct liberal ideas - even democracy itself - is a luxury made affordable by cheap energy. I don't know when ...

  • Angry environmentalism

    If environmentalists seem to be wishing the rest of the world to die off, well, I suppose half of it is the very real concern that the human population is growing too large, but more than that in order to create a harmonious, sustainable human relationship with the Earth, everyone has to be a part of it, and there seems to an enormous chunk of the ...

  • On Uncontrolled Spawning (i.e. You Are a Baby Factory)

    Its not so much the number of children as the ridiculous closeness in age. People assume (and usually correctly) that there are more kiddos on the way. If the words ''brood'' or ''flock'' are coming up, maybe one of your rugrats was running amuck. I usually only let one of my ''use birthcontrol, for god's sake'' comments fly when I've almost ...
