If we keep producing offspring just because we *can*, we will truly have
given up hope. You say to look through a child's eyes... Fine. EXPLAIN to
the sixth, or eighth child WHY there is nothing for dinner tonight! Share
the joy of the little girl picking through the rubbish to find things to
eat JUST LIKE HER MOTHER AND GRANDMOTHER DID! And just like her
grandchildren will do! Enjoy the childish laughter when a little boy
finds that he can sell his body for food! IT HAPPENS! I have nOT given up
hope. It is my hope that we can get ourselves OUT of this mess!
Perhaps you should read the book :"The Population Bomb" or any of
several United Nations reports to see what will happen if attitudes like
thosue you mention prevail...hmm?

Look at the rainforests. dying because of clearcutting to make room for
crops to feed burgeoning populations. The seas are being overfished to
feed more and more people. The world is being buried in wastes. Water is
becoming foul, air is dirtier. We are RUINING our Earth because there
are TOO MANY POEPLE>
