Do you think you are environmentally friendly? Well not likely. How many kids do you have? How many kids do you plan on having? I hear every sort of answer here, but I must question your answer to the first few questions if you answer more than one. The hot topic of the moment is the looming energy crisis. Is it real or not? of course it is, even neocons doing fuzzy math should be able to figure out if we live longer and produce more children we have a growth in resources consumed. Even if they can’t rationalize it out on environmental concerns, surely at least one in their numbers can rationalize it into fiscal conservation. If anyone wants to save the environment and I mean truly save it, they should be advocating legitimate population control, by any and all means, along with energy conservation.
This doesn’t just mean brown, black, yellow skinned people in other countries either. This is something that must be advocated right here at home to white voting Americans. I don’t devalue the pleasure one gets from children, but like anything we have for pleasure there comes a point when enough is enough, just like the sex that produces them (or so I am told on that one). Sure, we will always have people who have no kids who help keep the population down, but any population growth is bad for the environment and the economy. if you want more than one child adopt, if you can afford to have one, you can afford to adopt.
