Zero Population Growth-- Now heres a group who notices that poulation is the most pressing issue for human beings at this time-- the way things are rapidly going, if we DON'T take the bull by the horns and completely reduce our population growth to 0 within the next 50 years, we will witness (and be part of!...) the most intense misery ever faced by humanity. It is interesting to observe that the use of ANY MEANS POSSIBLE, to prevent this catastrophe will probably cause less suffering than to do nothing, or less than nothing (as the so-called "conservative" (certainly a misnomer here!) politicians say they want...(perhaps having interpreted certain religios teachings with a nihilistic twist?)). Of course I'm too much of an optimist to advocate violence in any way, but if our numbers increase much more our very existence becomes violence by definition!
