Limiting population growth is not the paramount issue of the 21st or 20th century. It is a straw dog, a stalking horse for people seeking to promote sexual licentiousness and/or abortion.

I recall the Club of Rome pronouncements in the 60's when I was in elementary school. I remember my first computer program, a population program to project the size of the world population in 30 years, in 2000. Since then, food production has greatly increased, with the population and the doomsters have been discredited. The issue is not population, but production and distribution. The major cause of starvation seems to be despotic governments. The major solution seems to be a capitalistic farm economy.

Please don't limit your agreement with me to this. That is but one element to a larger purpose, What of the larger issue, the paradigm shift aimed at redefining morality and of the meaning of justice?

Good, I knew there had to be some who remembered. Do you know if there has been a thread here on the subject that has aged off to the archives?

You are correct.

In your own experience, what percentage of the time did a liberal quit arguing long after being discredited? :)

As liberal thinking predominates in social planning, and as social planners tend to be aloof and convinced of their own good intentions no matter how discredited their assumptions, are we not taking a big risk in placing too much faith that this one time logic alone will convince liberal adversaries? Self-satisfied adversaries in positions of power?

I have been making the case that we need to do more than that. We need our Judeo-Christian paradigm to be restored as our nation's social cornerstone more than most realize. We need to be arguing for its rightful placement before this threatening new paradigm (quality of life) supplants it completely. Comments?
