You want the government telling me how many children I may have, and using abortionists to kill any of my children who exceed their quota? No thanks.

Why would such a thought ever enter your mind? Approximately 46% of the earth's surface is undeveloped wilderness, comprising land areas and not including sea. You could fit the entire population of the world into Texas and the population density would still be less than that of New York City. The number of people is not the problem; totalitarian governments are the problem.

Cordially,

That's it, exactly.

Man was created to live in liberty and that's where he thrives.

Evil people tend to try to thwart this in order to glorify themselves.

Sure you COULD fit the population of the world into Texas but we would be like sardines. You wouldn't be able to have a single detached house with a yard or maybe a dog like so many of us have here. There would be little or no recreation, no wildlife, no place to go for solitude. In short it would be hell on earth.

Plus have you considered the type of warfare that would occur when you jam so many people together in such a small area. Just read up on the Gaza strip and you will get an indication of what you would get. This is not even considering where you would grow the food necessary to support such a population. The idea that we have plenty of space left is stupidity squared. Most of the major conflicts going on around the world are about turf; who has it and who wants it.


I don't recall saying that I want the government telling me how many children to have. I just saying I don't want to get to that point. We will get to it if we keep going in the direction we are presently headed. We haven't had to consider such a Draconian policy because we have space and resources. China wouldn't have to do what they are doing either if they had 300 million instead of 1.3 Billion.
