Can't help asking

and not to be argumentative, honest!

. . . is one society level answer not to have those kids to "do for" in the first place? If humans need to cut back on each person's impact, surely cutting back on people period is one part of doing this? But at the society level then, wouldn't that degrade the world's most scientific, technologically and economically advanced, mobile and educated populations, relative to those with the smallest carbon footprint AND the smallest likelihood of creating-affording-electing-empowering the major system changes we need to address the global impact of humanity? Does it diminish another "natural" resource -- us -- I guess I'm asking?

Words to live by

“I just think this is the worst type of governmental meddling. It makes the assumption that students who are attending colleges and universities need to be coddled… that they’re not able to determine right from wrong.”


— Missouri House Minority Leader Jeff Harris, D-Columbia, during debate regarding the "Intellectual Diversity"Bill, HB 213, which would require universities to report to the General Assembly the measures they are taking to insure "intellectual diversity."
