Well, I don't think there is an intelligent, thoughtful person in the world who hasn't seen what is going on all around us and wondered what the solution is short of genocide.
I certainly would never support genocide or forced eugenics! I don't think all parents are lax, just a tiny percentage that make a lot of noise at SquallMart.
Please don't ever take that from what I said, because it is not what I said and I have very firm values against forced eugenics and such. I do not support one child policies.
Sometimes I think Mother Earth is standing poised to shake us all off like a bunch of parasites and start over.
I don't get into the Mother Earth is going to eat her children type of new religion. I don't think humans are a cancer on the Earth. I think the whole over population thing is a hyped-up myth.
Might be the best solution at this point of exponentially growing population and dysfunction. Argh.
External force is never the answer. People have to come to answers as individuals. I merely say it ought to be encouaged for people to self-evaluate more often if they are up to the job of being parents because the job is so hard and long and unrelentling. I have seen people who could barely hold the basic minimum of their own lives together add children to that mix with devestating results. This is a minority of people though. To come up with extreme solutions would be far worse than what happens now.
