I have looked in vain for any sort of comment or article or
study or recommendation or opinion that there is any connection between our
dwindling natural resources (air, water, oil, etc) and irresponsible family
planning. Or maybe it would be more accurate to say No Family Planning!. We
are literally "screwing" ourselves to death...worldwide. Why cannot normal
couples, that is man and woman see the connection between having a raft of kids
and running out of clean air and water? Must be their own personal egos have
gotten in the way of their common sense...why else would they deliberately have
3 or 4 children in the face of our global deterioration of essential resources?
Got to be EGO! Every child born today will be a driver on our already
overcrowded roads in 16 years! Every child today will be sucking in clean air
and drinking clean water from the moment they are born, two resources that are
constantly overused and in dangerously short supply. Every child will, in about
5 years, require a classroom and a teacher to babysit them for the next dozen
years. They require food that requires oil, air and water to produce. Well,
you get the idea if you have an I.Q. at least equal to a houseplant! Most of
these mothers seem willing to have someone else raise their kid so they can
return to work. Don't they ever realize this is part of the child-making
decision, BEFORE stopping birth control methods?
Who is to blame for this disastrous overpopulation
activity? Well, first of all, as a readily identifiable group, I blame the
Catholic Church, who blindly goes along banning birth control, an idea that
belonged in the 16th Century. Then I blame today's parents who won't let the
schools teach sex education. Then I blame the parents who won't force their
children to go to school and actually see that they learn something. I blame
the schools for hiring babysitters instead of teachers. (of course we have to
put part of the blame on the unions who insist on tenure regardless of talent)
I blame the government agencies that reward females with children
out-of-wedlock...rewards that are sufficient to keep them in the baby-making
business. I blame any institution, private or public, that will not support
mandatory sterilization of unwed mothers. I blame society, both religious and
non who do not publicly denounce these miscreants. Make shame a part of
Sunday's sermon again. How about the parents who support their pregnant
daughters and congratulate the father BEFORE the wedding? Shame on them. Maybe
we need more abortions, at least once then sterilization to guarantee this
female doesn't do this again to the taxpayers. And the man too! Snip Snip!
Yes, the taxpayers are picking up the tab, somewhere along the line, eventually
this child will take part in the government payout plans. Social Security,
Medicare, Medicaid, Disability...ADC; all adults eventually funnel into this
"free" source of money.
It is time we take responsibility for our actions and not
expect the world to pay for our bad judgments. If we can keep the births down
to one family-one child, then maybe over the next 50 years or so the world's
natural resources will be able to recover. If not we need to remind ourselves
the all the water on our earth today is all their ever will be...it cannot be
manufactured. Same goes for all the air and all the land...WYSIWYG.
We have already been publicly warned that humans have exceeded
the Earth's "limits of sustainability", now in 2009. We need to continue to
decrease the growth rate of the global population, researchers say as the planet
can't support many more people.
Can you even imagine wars over food? clean air? drinkable
water? When there are more people than there is food to feed them the strong
will survive and the weak will die. It happens every day somewhere in the world
today. We are just more fortunate here in the USA that others.
So, to put an end to this rant, start thinking that a raft
of kids is not something to be proud of...it is something to be ashamed of. As
Pogo said "we have found the enemy and he is us".
