<<Tax incentives are government coercion on its citizens to adopt a course of action it deems worthwhile.>> OK.........Well then lets remove the deduction for children!This is a policy is encouraging more children as well as being unfair. Why should those who have one or no children pay the taxes for those who have many? If you can't afford children then you shouldn't have them. Not to ask the taxpayers to finance them for you. <<only a fraction of the worlds agricultural capacity is tapped to its limit. >> << no incentive for Vietnam for example to carve rice patties out of the hills,>>I guess my last post was so long winded that you couldn't wade through it. The point is I don't think that we should put every piece of land into production. Leave some for wild life.Maybe VietNam should leave the hills as they are,no? The main function of the environmental movement is to preserve the natural world. Not just to see how many humans we can stuff on this planet. With so much at stake I just don't see why the reluctance to the two child family. It seems that it is easy to blame big corporations for environmental problems .We can recycle or point the finger .But just don't ask Americans to make any real change in life style themselves <<The third world is the problem area >> It is the potential problem. But as the developed world continues to produces the vast majority of the pollution and uses the bulk of the worlds natural resources we are the problem! The only hope we have of convincing the third world to consider the consequences of their breeding habits is to demonstrate a responsibility of our own. << There is no danger in overpopulation to the West, we have the stability and the money to weather a storm>> At what cost to the environment?? This is the environmental thread remember? Not who will survive the longest thread! pez
