<<So, I see a tension between environmentalism and the tenet that the right to bear children is inviolable. >>

Ok, you have children, that is your right, others have children and that hurts the enviroment, is that what you're saying?

I agree that over population is a problem. China is almost out of water.

<<Environmentalism hinges on the idea that protecting the bluegreen onionskin on our
planet is Really Important, more so than ephemeral principles like the Bill of Rights or
the Communist Manifesto.>>

Let's try and break down this discussion into more manageable points, if you don't mind, Alex. Can you tell me anything that is more important than protecting the bluegreen onionskin on our planet?

Incidentally, I never argued that early man was a vegetarian. The archaeological evidence suggests that he ate mostly plants, but hunted when he could, so I guess you would describe him as an opportunistic meat-eater.
