control......

AUSTIN, Texas — Talk radio and blogs are taking aim at a University of Texas biology professor because of a published report suggesting he advocates death for most of the human population as a means of saving the Earth.
However, Eric Pianka says his remarks about his beliefs were taken out of context, that he was just raising a warning that deadly disease epidemics are a threat if population growth isn't contained.

"What we really need to do is start thinking about controlling our population before it's too late," he said Monday. "It's already too late, but we're not even thinking about it. We're just mindlessly rushing ahead breeding our brains out."

Pianka, who has gotten vitriolic e-mails and even a death threat, said he believes the Earth would be better off if there were fewer people using up natural resources and destroying habitats.

1. Keep in mind, it's Drudge doing the reporting

And, as one should always ask if one sees a report from Drudge, "Do you have a reliable source?"

4. It was "reported" by a Creationist

who was sitting in the meeting, probably to give the impression that all scientists are awful people. I'll believe it when an independent source verifies it.

2. probably by a DUer judging from some of the idiotic gullibility I've seen

regarding that article.

5. I've no problem with us breeding our brains out

as long as the result is mostly a big smile on our faces!

The world is getting pretty crowded.

6. All he is stating is a simple...

....non-controversial scientific/biological fact. When a population of any organism grows to the point that its ecosystem can no longer support it, there will be a die off.

This is 101 folks. Jesus isn't going to do anything about it, and it is coming.
