Time for a poll:

Ok guys. Let's get some interaction going on here.

Rukayat posted a thread earlier that I enjoyed. Here's an excerpt from my comment about that thread:

'And about this: "We cannot simply tell people they should limit how many children they have..."

Why not? Even if doing this would preserve human life on earth?

What's better:

1) millions* of starving babies
---OR
2) A few thousand* happy, affluent people?'

You can read her original post a little ways down from here. But anyway, let me know what you think. Should humans have rights for how many children they can have?

love,
John

*Numbers are hypothetical to make a point (millions > thousands, numerically).

You are right John! Ultmately when humans will panic to see the severity of this issue, it will boil down to reproductive rights. Other species reproduce vogorously but their numbers are controlled by limiting factors, but we have removed those limiting factors from our lives.

Yay! from me.
