Tony,<br> <br> The problem here is, the prime candidates to be post-birth aborted is Bush and his appointees. <br> <br> But just to be clear, Bush has dedicated a good deal of his political life to eliminating citizens of the world--Just not the right ones. <br> <br> Best,<br> <br> _DJA<br><br><b><i>Tony Simpson <tonytime@clearwire.net></i></b> wrote:<blockquote class="replbq" style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;"> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <meta content="MSHTML 6.00.2900.2963" name="GENERATOR"> <style></style> <div><font face="Arial" size="2">Donovan!

Inconvenient Truth -- What WE REALLY HAVE TO DO</div> <div><br></div>I don't think eating lettuce and carrot sticks is going to save the environment, no matter how many you eat and everyone else. The only way to do it is to raise the price of gasoline and reduce the human population. If the world raises the price of gasoline to $7.50 a gallon over the next 5 years it would force everyone economically to switch to an alternative form of fuel that would be better on the Earth, maybe even reverse the effects.<br><br>The second, is to maintain the human population. The Earth cannot sustain 12 billion people for very long, it just cannot--even if they just eat tofu, cabbage and sprouts. The current birth rate of the world it will shortly be 12 billion. There is only three ways to stop overpopulation; mass murder, mass sterilization and abortion, or economic enforcement. I prefer economic enforcement. Making it so expensive to raise a child so that only 1.8
children per fertile woman are born, or zero population growth, is the way to go. Many Western countries are going this route already. China uses law enforcement and forced abortion to control their population--I don't want to go that route.<br><br>You guys are thinking so small, so tiny. It doesn't help save the earth even a day to do these tiny things. If the Earth's environment is going to be saved, it has to be on a HUGE scale, all over the world, and people will have to be forced to do it by <span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-decoration: underline;">economic necessity</span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">.</span> Trying to do it politically, socially, educating, or choosing one by one to change and start caring for the world--it ain't gonna happen that way folks.
