the 'caravan' and overpopulation

Of course the mainstream media would never admit to this, but a big reason why these people from Central America are heading toward the States is that their countries are overpopulated. I heard an interview with a young man from El Salvador in this 'caravan.' He was complaining that there weren't enough jobs in his country. No, the problem isn't that their aren't enough jobs; the problem is that there are too many people! These countries are overpopulated, but that's their problem, and it's a problem they should recognize and try to do something about. These countries are simply trying to export their surplus populations, but we have no ethical responsibility to accept them-- and we shouldn't.

population sanctions

US foreign aid to 'developing' nations should be conditional upon their creating some kind of population policy to bring their population growth under control and maybe even reversing it. We're already starting to see the results of this overpopulation in the attempt by 'economic migrants' to get the hell out of the third-world shitholes they live in and try to make it to the US or Europe. If these people turn out to be basically ineducable, we don't need them. Since the economies of these countries are based largely on subsistence agriculture (if not hunting and gathering), their populations should be reduced to a level that can support people in that kind of economy.

fossil fuels and population

If we're serious about cutting down on fossil fuel emissions-- and I'm not sure we are-- it seems to me there are only two ways to go about it:

1. Technological innovation in clean energy.

2. Lowering the human population so that, even if our individual emissions remain the same (or even go up slightly as nations develop), our total emissions will nonetheless go down.

The IPCC tells us we need to cut greenhouse emissions 50% by 2050, a very tall order indeed. The human population of this planet has tripled in my lifetime. Ergo, if the human population had simply remained stable over this time, our greenhouse emissions would be roughly a third of what they are today. Problem solved.

We shouldn't put all our eggs in the basket of clean energy. Lowering the human population substantially should also be a primary goal.

the trouble with feminists

The trouble with feminists is, they don't reproduce. These are among the brightest, best-educated people in our society, but a lot of them don't have any children at all. It's almost a badge of honor with them. Oh, they might have one, a la Chelsea Clinton, but that's about it, that's enough of that oppressive, patriarchal child-bearing nonsense. Meanwhile, the welfare idiots are churning them out like rabbits. Idiocracy, here we come.

I think educated, intelligent women should feel obligated to have at least two children, three if they and their spouse want one and can afford it. In fact, I would almost say that women like this have a duty to reproduce.

coercion and ridicule

Governments should use their coercive power to control population. Military families, for example, should be restricted to two children. The military is not a democracy. Obey orders or get out.

On the other hand, families that have too many children should be subjected to ridicule. Their absurd assertions that each new child is a 'blessing' is put to the lie when they have to turn to the government, relatives, church members, etc. to pick up the slack when they have too many mouths to feed. It's all part of God's Great Plan.
