The Voluntary Human Extinction Movement (VHEMT[A]) is an environmental movement that calls for all people to abstain from reproduction to cause the gradual voluntary extinction of humankind.
VHEMT supports human extinction primarily because, in the group's view, it would prevent environmental degradation. The group states that a decrease in the human population would prevent a significant amount of man-made human suffering.
The extinctions of non-human species and the scarcity of resources required by humans are frequently cited by the group as evidence of the harm caused by human overpopulation.

But I thought that "man is the measure of all things?" The Left sure has forgotten the "good old days" of the Encyclopedists and the French Revolution!
The completely meaningless, random speck of dust known as "earth" sure does seem awful important to these atheists. Don't they know that exalting earth above other planets is offensive??? [/sarcasm]

Because some "leftists" believe in this, therefore all people left of you are inane, destructive, and self-hating. One of the things humans are capable of that no other living being seems to be is logic. We should use it whenever possible.
So what aspects of "Leftism" do you embrace?

Voluntary Human Extinction Movement Any LIBERAL (PROGRESSIVE) worth is salt should be an enthusiastic, willing participant, if for no other reason than to show total support for emperor 0bama's after birth abortion policy.

It seems “Leftists” have great ideas about how to create their “Utopian Dreamland”...”Human Extinction” being one of the most comically insane.
Too bad they are not so enthusiastic about embracing their Utopian solutions for themselves.
Since they won't even step up and embrace “OmabaCare” (Congressional Exemption) I suppose it is unrealistic to hope they would lead the way with “Self-Extinction.”

On an old computer, I used to keep notes of TX profs who signed the We Support Bill Ayers petition or some similar name. I don’t know if you can find it online these days but it would serve your niece well if you could. It had several thousand names.

What these assholes will do, is encourage youth in Western Nations to cut back on reproduction, while welcoming tripple reproduction in third world countries.Considering how dedicated Western leftists are to spreading contraception, abortion, and homosexuality throughout the Third World, I wouldn't think so.
Americans of Third World origin are being spared temporarily because the left depends on their votes.

There is a theory, that one of the reasons that we haven’t seen or heard any aliens, advanced (visiting) or not (radio signals), is that the span of time between creatures developing radio to blowing the hell out of themselves is about 100-200 years, much less than a blink of an eye in cosmological terms. Predators and other hunter/gatherers are the only creatures that need to and therefore develop significant intelligence...so ironically, that winds up being their downfall. Somehow, I find this actually dovetails well into the book of Genesis, with knowledge (technology, artifice)=eventual doom!

It seems to me that this Movement will find some difficulty with leadership.
Are you kidding, dems are great at deciding who needs to sacrifice and what. Everything they do is about them thinking of it and someone else bearing the burden of bringing their idea to reality. Of course they conveniently believe they are all the ones who need to live to mnage the whole thing.
Food, fuel, living green, smoking, not smoking, health care, heat on, ac off, everything is about someone else giving up something to benefit the rest... er, mankind, er you get the picture.
