"I’d like to share a revelation that I’ve had, during my time here. It came to me when I tried to classify your species and I realized that you aren’t actually mammals. Every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with its surrounding environment, but you humans do not. You move to an area and you multiply, and multiply until every natural resource is consumed. The only way you can survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. Do you know what it is? A virus. Human beings are a disease, a cancer of this planet. You are a plague, and we... are the cure." ~Agent Smith from The Matrix

DU is a progressive board, but don't dare mention that humanity needs to keep our numbers in check, that the number of children people have should be limited. You would not believe the number of people who think that we have no right to tell people how many children they can have. You will be accused of supporting eugenics.

If we're not willing to address these issues as a species, then we are in for a major smack down. Personally, I think we're beyond the point of no return & that smack down is coming no matter what we do. We cannot live outside of nature. We've raped, plundered & polluted our nest. Our planet can't support 7 billion people living the American dream. Our arrogance is about to catch up with us.

I think of all the humans that have ever lived in the history of Earth & I realize that I am truly in the 1% - one of the most fortunate of all humans to ever have lived. It's humbling.
