Marion I did remark that my comments there were extremist. This was for the purpose of illustration. I think that was clear. “SEX” is not the issue(get your mind out of the gutter. Reproduction is natural and the idea of selfishness doesn’t apply. Whether we reproduce on this side of the international date line or the other is irrelevant except that because of how we manage the planet it has different consequences.

Very few people can abstain form sex, including these people who have strange theories about reproduction. While we are on the topic of those individuals, I would say they are probably just humans trying to justify the choices they have made in life. Don’t we all do that? I certainly hope they don’t have any moral issue that runs pathologically about who of us is having children.

One more thought came to mind. I bet some of this anti- reproduction people have all sorts of theories about pendng calamities. It seems some do worry a lot, peak oil, greenhouse gases. How do they know that the catastrophe that his us first won’t leave us glad that there was a large population in Africa and a “first” world country like the U.S? They don’t because their agenda is not about thinking it through but rather self-righteously defending their own individual psychology inspired behavior behavior(not having kids or not enjoying it). They really act like GOD or at least they think they are GOD. I am not saying every body who doesn’t have kids or doesn’t like their kids does this, only the ones who are conflicted about it.
