Proposal to Consider: Reduce Reproduction Rates

Ok, so by now everyone is totally offended and the child-hater and witch accusations will be in full force.  This proposal is just something I hope people may think about before deciding to bring any more people into the world.

No Vacancy:  The world is full.  This is not really a joke.  There are over 7 billion people in the world.  If we do not have plans for relocation, our humanity family will and has outgrown our shack.  Human overpopulation has devastated the planet and consumed its resources.

The world is suffering: war, poverty, lack of food, lack of fresh water, lack of energy, lack of space, lack of jobs, etc.  Have you ever gotten in a crowded buffet line, and by the time you got to the front, all of the salad dressing and croutons are gone, and nothing left but a big fat fly?  The human race has become that buffet line and they ran out of croutons two weeks ago.  Maybe consider instead of bringing your village to Pizza Hut, maybe next time, just bring your best friend.  He was the only one you were talking to anyway!

The argument is simple: quality over quantity.  That is the quality of humanity's population should be the goal, not to reproduce and reproduce and consume and consume as a nightmarish virus would.  Consume and consume until we have nothing less but each other to consume.

I AM NOT saying there should be couple child limits or that children are not wonderful, or anything of that sort! I am concerned and proposing this because I do care deeply for the children, humanity, and this little marble that has been our home.

I choose to remain childless so that I will not add to the exhaustion of Earth's resources.  If the world's people made the logical decision to significantly slow reproduction rates, it would give our world the vital relief it needs to recover from our overwhelming presence and our ancestors will not have to fight to the death over the ever continuing dwindling natural resources.  Climate change could also improve, with the less people, less emissions and pollution, could allow recovery time and minimize the devastating damage we have already done.  Less people means more to go around and a the probability of a higher quality of life for all people.

The world may do everything it can to rid itself of the infection, known as human beings.  Super bugs, disease, violent weather, and that comet from the Oort Cloud, a super-volcano, famines, soil erosion, etc, etc, etc.

If we do not make these changes ourselves, there may come an unfortunate day when the decision may be forced upon us.  I really hope this can be avoided.  The worst-case scenarios I do not even dare to type, but they are very dark scenarios and would be a tragic end to our beautiful little dream turned nightmare.

So that pretty much sums it up.  Too many people means less for all and even less for future generations, should they survive to see it.
