In fact, population growth has been the primary driver of progress throughout human history. While it’s true that a growing population leads to shortages of certain raw materials, goods and services, these will always prove temporary in a free market economy. Innovators will come forward to extract more raw materials or find cheaper substitutes, while entrepreneurs will find ways to produce more goods at lower costs and to distribute them more efficiently to the public. At the end of this creative process — if it’s not interrupted — you will have more goods available at lower prices precisely because you have more people.

Something the left will NEVER understand.

There aren’t too many people. There are too many of the wrong kind (uneducated, freeloading, ignorant) and not enough of the right kind of people in the world (freedom loving, productive, intelligent).

Yeah, I said it.

It does seem silly to cut your customer base. I bet that Buffett begged to differ about what he was doing, since after all he wasn’t carrying on these “family planning” missions to Europe and Japan, but to dark corners of Africa and Asia where “people are suffering from overcrowding.” But still, doesn’t it seem more humane to help them grow out of their problems rather than die out of them?

Where is that Gary Larsen (The Far Side) cartoon depicting God in His kitchen, with Earth sitting in a skillet, thinking “And now, to make the world more interesting” while unscrewing the top of a jar marked “Jerks”???

Someone may be a genius at making money, but that doesn’t mean that they should be looked to for leadership in other areas.

“Warren Buffett is a first class ASSHOLE!”

He sure is. If he’s so interested in population control, why doesn’t he set an example and kill himself?

What people like Buffet refuse to see is that the problem isn’t too many people, but too much corruption.

Too many famines and too much disease are caused by bad planning and decision making, and repressive, corrupt governments.

And this would require a rethink of business practices if there was wealth to be had in colluding with such corrupted governments.

Warren Buffet doesn’t think there’s too many people. He just thinks there’s too many people that he doesn’t like. That makes it OK.

Population control freaks are cowardly, hypocritical scum.

If they truly believe in controlling the population they’d put a Smith & Wesson where their mouth is...and pull the trigger.
