"The entire idea of reducing the number of people needs to be thought through carefully against the question of what people are for. On the other hand if all we are talking about is more viewers of Fox News and customers for Walmart, hell, break out the birth control pills."

               Customers for Walmart is what it's all about. The insanity of what right-wing politicians call a free market economy depends of ever greater numbers of people, buy cheaper, and lower quality products at a cost that continually takes more from their paychecks until they can no longer afford to buy anything.

                The bottom line equation is this: more people place a greater strain on resources. At some point between where we are now and a standing-room-only existence, the planet would be better off if we just simply controlled population growth.
                Moving people from places that are over crowded now to places that are not quite yet overcrowded is not the way to get there.
