Reply #14: You've got to be kidding. [View All]

You don't see? Sorry. I just can't keep quiet about how strongly I feel and sense and have been affected by the people who seem to need to have so many kids.

Since six billion day, which was in 1999, we have two complete United States worth of people added to the planet. That's 6.5 billion. But if you don't see it with your own eyes, numbers on a page certainly aren't going to help. Each new person needs lumber (deforestation), a car (global warming), and a plethora of stuff, IN A MODERN SOCIETY.

The life or death of this planet, which supports us, is directly proportional to the number of people who are using it for support. I feel like I'm wasting my time. I've spent nearly forty years agonizing over this kind of thing, and it does absolutely no good.

Why do you think the planet it being destroyed? It's the number of people!

Edit- And I don't believe in mandatory birth control. I believe in choice, and I believe in wise behavior.
