1. From BBC4's "Newswipe"

A highly recommended weekly series that deconstructs the news. Worth searching out.

2. And since all crime is committed by the living-

-life should be illegal.

12. Yesssssssssssss! NT

3. He is an obvious agent of Wonkette, sent to take over the world in the name of teh butt secks!

8. +1 No doubt

4. Overpopulation will correct itself.

Well...kinda...

As Carl Sagan said (I paraphrase) Nature indeed will take care of overpopulation. But it might not do it in a warm and fuzzy way. It usually takes care of it with famine, hunger, disease and death. We help it along with war (over scarce resources).

Or we can try sex education.

[Lorien]

10. Sex education, free contraception to the poor, empowering the world's women

with education and micro loans, free vasectomies for men in poor regions and Nations-there are plenty of things we can do to slow or stop population growth. But, as you say, if we choose to ignore it we do so at our own peril.

5. Doug doesn't pull any punches!

And he's right.

(consistently)

[KrazyinKS]

6. That is an ugly way of saying it

But so very true. The world is overpopulated. I think we really will be fighting wars over such simple things as WATER. Abortion is ugly, but seeing children who are here NOW dying of hunger disease is even uglier. Once the pro lifers start running out of the basics they will not hesitate to kill over it.

[Mithreal]

7. Offensive, insensitive, and horrible, but recommended.

[provis99]

9. Doug Stanhope is still alive? I thought that sad drunk would have offed himself by now.

maybe by smothering himself with copies of Atlas Shrugged, or some other libertarian screed that he loves so much.

[DRex]

11. Free vasectomies for everyone!

Hurrah!

But, on a serious note, this really is something we all need to be discussing. The longer we wait to find solutions, the bigger we get. It's a road to disaster.
