LOCI Fan: I had a great post sent to you and lost it in cyberspace! Tried to get a mod to help out but it is gone I think. In a nutshell, I think we may disagree on much on this topic yet agree on some things & I am fascinated to see into your opinion further if you will share it with me ..... if you are so inclined, I wish you start a 3rd world thread in the Squad Room as we are straying far off topic here. trisha's further post brought up an area I have done some research in - AIDS in africa, not china & I think it is enthralling in a car wreck kind of way. So - I hope I have caught your interest enough to keep this up on another thread since you are definately so passionate about this topic. So far I have not received the smack down from the mods - - - so we shall see .....

put some hormones in the water in those 3rd world countries & then let them get the "antidote" if they make the choice to have kids. joking, but barely. Er, the above doesn't sound exactly tolerant, to my mind, Metella, but I've read your posts for a long time and I'm used to your opinions and how you express them. I side with LOCIfan on the population growth issue. It's easy to point fingers from this side of the ocean. More than 80% of the world's resources, (including food, OIL, electricity, water) are consumed by us, North American's, mainly the United States. Population growth issues directly relate, to me anyway, on the issue of the DP. It raises questions as to who is considered able 'to properly care for a child' and who isn't. Who makes the decision who gets to have a child and who mustn't.

naw, you are just barely my senior here .... you make this rake 2 posts or so before me ...... I am resigned to follow in your glowing footsteps.
(besides, when... um if, I decide to puff up my posts - I'll do it in the Squad Room and not clog up a CI thread)
