<Which begs the question: When is enough, enough? > When mothers decide they don't want to have a child. We don't need a government to decide that. We don't need a pope. We don't need anyone except the woman making the decision. In Japan and many other countries, most women have made that decision. Those having them only want to have a couple or so. We certainly don't need Herr Raymond [Heil Raymond] or Scott or some other "I know what's best for you" bossy do-gooder telling women how to run their lives. The Taleban did that. Chairman Mao's lot did that. China will very soon be ditching their "One child or else" policy. In fact I think there was some report a while ago that it was becoming noticeable that the baby boom is well and truly over in China. All the Luddite 19th century Malthusians can go back to their caves. All the Club of Rome doomsters will have to pick another day to run up the mountain for the end of the world due to humans breathing all the oxygen. They forget that people have a brain inside that lump over their eyebrows, which they can use to figure out whether they want a baby or not. Call me naive, but I'm so unsexist that I believe women should be considered human too, [though they are NOT good at maths; after all, they are missing a Y chromosome which is like a genetic = sign]. Therefore, although I don't have scientific proof, my guess is that women can use that the contents of their eyebrow lump to figure out whether they want a baby or not. People use their brains to alter their circumstances. We build bulldozers to push mountains aside. We build huge pumps or canals and can drain a lake. We can encircle the world in telecommunications and cyberspace. We can land a Lunar Rover hq.nasa.gov on the moon and drive around. It's not that hard for a woman to figure out whether she wants a baby, which will definitely affect her circumstances and environment. I'd better stop now or I'll exceed DJ's attention span.
