I’m a conservative and it makes me happy. Well, the global numbers at least. We’re trapped into a perceived economics that requires ever larger numbers to provide Ponzi support to our growing number of retirees (and those who otherwise can’t or choose not to work).

But the more our global numbers continue to grow the harder it eventually is to provide everyone with the advanced standard of living we’re accustomed to, and the more reason for global governmental control, rationing, etc..

That people, as seen in developed countries, ultimately voluntarily choose on average smaller families is a good thing, considering that we’re still increasing our global poor, especially, at a daunting rate.

We just have to wrap our heads around evolving free-market economic models.

I think an overall lower population, where people have room to spread out and live (in places worth living), would be dandy. I think the danger is that technology (automation) and culture will conspire to discourage reproduction. However, I don’t think that trend will last forever and certainly don’t think the human race will disappear because of it.

Your views are the views of a leftist. You need to get your mind right.

Fool yourself if you like, but Population Control is NOT a “conservative” position.

You seem to believe in “evolving free market models” based on global population growth. You also commented how fewer people in developed nations relative to poor nations is a good thing.

I have officially called you out.
