Population Is Popping: Why We Cover Our Ears and Eyes

[CrispyQ]

13. There was a thread on this topic a few weeks ago

& I was surprised at the number of people who vehemently professed that the number of children people choose to have "Is nobody's #!*$ business." When the ecosystem that supports us no longer can, will they feel the same way then? And while I agree that education & birth control are critical places to start, no one's even talking about it. Shit, in this country we're going backward!

Then there's this:

The title of the 2nd story might be a bit alarmist, but we are trashing our planet like it's a hotel room & we still have a nice home to return to. Personally, I think we're fucked on so many levels! I used to think I would be getting out on time, but things are escalating & now I wonder how bad it will get in another 20-40 years.
