"To its critics, Project Prevention or Crack - an American organisation which pays drug addicts and alcoholics to be sterilised - is a terrifying throwback to the neutering of "defectives" during the 20th Century."

don't you think that kind of stabilization should come naturally though? If this was the right solution, wouldn't our bodies have adapted it as a matter of natural balance?

not for a VERY long time. Our longevity has come through unnatural means, thus so should the solution.

ya know i just heard recently how scientists have noticed that when animal populations get too dense, often times it is accompanied by a surge of homosexual behavior. [shrug] what do you think about that?

Very intersting point. but to fix a technology problem with another technology? Dur? At what point do we actually have to learn something?

it seems that it will be nature's way that at the top-of-the-heap will sit the most glamorous and wretched of all the beasts. and our own vanity and ignorance will insure us our own demise. heroin and football and war....and tv and overpopulation are only tools towards that end. consume consume. BUT hey...we're just a small bit in a vast universe. we've had it pretty good...and sure we could've had it better....but> it is what it is.
we are what we are. just not THAT smart.
if ape were president maybe we'd have a chance but since he's not such a great vote-getter...?!  ....i say enjoy it while we can...and hope you don't have to kill a man and if you do...make sure he's...hmmmm....not a friend.

Nah, I think we are being unfair on the yanks. They hate their president just as much as we do.

damn! that's true Jock!!! In fact those of us who hate him probably hate him MORE than you do... we have to live with the rotten bastard!

I said 6 months ago when Pongoid dropped his knowledge... I agree with and could support this idea if it didn't abscond with people's individual liberties... I don't like the idea of "someone" dictating what's good for me, and then making that decision for me! especially based on the "bad" (realative term, guys) behavior of someone unrelated to me.

I have 3 children and will not have more. I'm raising them in the best way I know, and hopefully that will be good enough to meet with your standards. They won't be perfect and they will likely not agree with some of you on some issues (neither do they always agree with me)... but I would hope that you all would not suppose the world to be a better place without them.
