All the people who predict that, *want* the misery
- the misery of food deprivation or the misery
of population control.
There can be no other reason for sticking
to these totally failed, absurd forecasts -
no other reason than *wishful thinking*.
Malthusians just *love* this choice.
You must sacrifice one baby to feed another, they
say to a mother, and they gloat.

I often feel that way (see above).
Then I recall the Christian
maxim (I am not a Christian, but I like the maxim):
_hate the sin but love the sinner_.
Depopulators are the very worst of people - worse
than the Nazis (who only did it to
*some* ethnic groups) - but even for *them* moral
and mental recovery may be possible.

Hear hear hear!
Human life is the greatest value
we know. It gives value to all
else. Each new baby is a whole
new universe of infinite meaning.
Do not extinguish it, let it happen.
The more the merrier. Increase and multiply.
The best Christmas gift you can give to
the world: *conceive a child*.

Yes: recyclers, recycle yourselves.
Make room for new babies, who may have
a brighter outlook.
Ropes, razors, car exhaust, guns, bridges, lakes
and high-story windows are all waiting for the
first sincere Malthusian.

There was one that announced such an intention
with a long, eloquent suicide note (Gaia and all that)
posted in talk.environment and related groups.
Everyone felt his pain. He didn't do it, though...
