Now you're catching on.
-------------------- Republican Values: 1) You can't get married to your spouse who is the same sex as you. 2) You can't have an abortion no matter how much you don't want a child. 3) You can't have a certain plant in your possession or you'll get locked up with a rapist and a murderer. 4) We need a smaller, less-intrusive government.

It depends who is doing the increasing.
I think the problem with our increasing population is the total loss of natural selection. In our society, our greatest citizens often only reproduce a couple of times, while lowlife fuckups end up having kids all over the place with no invested interest in how they turn out. No bueno

the problem is control. Who decides who the greatest citizens are and who the fuckups are?

Maybe when it comes to control policy everyone should have the same restriction as everyone else then. Make it a flat rule

I consider the greatest citizens to be the ones who are the most aware.

I think the issue of population will sort itself out. There isn't much point in saying less or more people would be better. Obviously it would mean less spent resources if there were less people, but we (the whole world) could easily sustain ourselves and live comfortably (although with many less pointless material items) if we implemented available technologies.

The ideal population would be me and 6 hawt bitches. (One day for 'alone' time.) We would set up camp in the Santa Barbara hills a few miles from the ocean. We would have a bitchin' organic garden, a vineyard, and a few dozen strains of the good herb with bunnies and deer cavorting about.
And then I woke up...

That's what the afterlife is like. But all the ladies' tongues have 4-fingered limbs, weed makes you super paranoid, and inexplicably, the only topic of conversation is death anxiety.
