Who wants more population growth? Hispanic nationalists? Ponzi-
scheming business interests?
What other groups benefit? Whos suffers? What about the environment?

You might not have noticed, but population is made out of people.
People tend to want their continued existence. Toci
Churches gain when they encourage their membership to have large
families since it results in more income for them and more political
power.
Bringing in more people does not make sense from an economic or
environmental
standpoint. The way to a better standard of living is to stabilize
populaltion
growth and produce more and better products for the world market. I
note that
Germany with a population of 80 million is the world leader in
exports.

Did not China stop an impending population disaster by limiting
familes to
one child?
I has been suggested that the world "powers", USA, Russia, and
China, launch a joint nuke attack on third-world population centers.
It would be a blessing for survivors and a lesson for all. If 500
million could be eliminated earth would have breathing time for
strict population controls

I am urging all smart young people I know to have at least 3 kids and
preferably 4-5. Stupid people, liberals and eco-sillies I urge to
have only 1 child. Problem solved
Naturally, you don't want the 500 million nuclear casualties to occur
in YOUR country, just someone else's. But if saving the earth really
is your goal, consider that 500 million third-worlders consume as many
resources as 50 million Americans or Europeans. It seems that the
strictest birth control policies should be instituted in
industrialized nations.
I totally agree re: strict birth control policies should be instituted
in industrialized
nations. Another concern is the damage done to sensitive wildlife
populations in
Africa and Asia. I think nuke option would be wise for cities like Rio
de Janeiro, Mexico City, Cairo, most sub-Saharan cites, plus, to show
that we are equal opportunity controllers, throw
in Detroit! (Calcutta and Bombay also)

HA! What a unique idea...might just work...hmmm.
Here's an even better idea:
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
"Revolutionaries should have as many children as they can. There is
strong scientific evidence that social attitudes are to a significant
extent inherited. No one suggests that a social attitude is a direct
outcome of a person's genetic constitution, but it appears that
personality traits tend, within the context of our society, to make a
person more likely to hold this or that social attitude."
"Objections to these findings have been raised, but objections are
feeble and seem to be ideologically motivated. In any event, no one
denies that children tend on the average to hold social attitudes
similar to those of their parents. From our point of view it doesn't
matter all that much whether the attitudes are passed on genetically
or through childhood training. In either case the ARE passed on."
"The trouble is that many of the people who are inclined to rebel
against the industrial system are also concerned about the population
problems, hence they are apt to have few or no children. In this way
they may be handing the world over to the sort of people who support
or at least accept the industrial system. To insure the strength of
the next generation of revolutionaries the present generation must
reproduce itself abundantly. In doing so they will be worsening the
population problem only slightly."
"And the most important problem is to get rid of the industrial
system, because once the industrial system is gone the world's
population necessarily will decrease; whereas, if the industrial
system survives, it will continue developing new techniques of food
production that may enable the world's population to keep increasing
almost indefinitely."
