Rick,

As a father of eight, I had to respond to this. So I did. On my blog. Thank God we live in free countries and not in a place like China where you can’t have large families.

“Itâ€™s very similar to the abortion paradigm, one has to wonder how many modern-day Einsteins, Jeffersons, George Washington Carver, Beethovens, and other great men and women have been prevented from being born in the name of some left-wing social prescription.”

This argument pretty quickly leads to “Every sperm is sacred” logic.

In other words, if every unborn human is a potential tragic loss, then we should be working as hard as we can to avoid missing these chances. Therefore we should all be having children at every possible opportunity.

Since this is obviously ridiculous, there must be something wrong with the initial premise.

(Of course one thing wrong with the premise is that for every Einstein there will be a Hitler, but that’s not the only thing)

This is despicable on so many levels. Even the term “environmental misdemeanor” is disturbing.

These people simply hate humanity as a species and see us all as an unnatural blight imposed on an otherwise pure world.
If they really had the strength of their convictions, theyâ€™d off themselves to lighten the load on â€œMother Earth.â€ No such luck Iâ€™m afraid.

At least all those “extra” children will be paying into the Social Security Trust Fund.

According to the 2000 U.S. Census, the average American household consists of 2.57 people. Not even replacement level. Of course, we can’t let mere facts pollute the political agenda of the fringe left, now can we?

Why is there no Thomas Malthus Day in America? Damn Republicans.

Couldn’t believe this New Age enviro-whacko totalitarianism when I first read it at Malkin’s site early this morning. Maybe these people who are advancing such arguments ought to be the pacesetters and show the rest of us hoi polloi how its done by practicing what they preach on their own extended families.

It’s very similar to the abortion paradigm, one has to wonder how many modern-day Einsteins, Jeffersons, George Washington Carver, Beethovens, and other great men and women have been prevented from being born in the name of some left-wing social prescription. We will always have the poor, but it only takes a very few truly great minds to totally revolutionize the human condition in a very positive way.
