You're drawing a very small picture. A person is not a meat factory, pumping out pollution.

Pilchard has a point, though. Without some sort of intervention or action, we will deplete many natural resources without exchanging them for other useful resources. That's why I like goats more than I like cows, as one example.

Just sayin'...

If Congress ever got their act together, I'm sure we could apportion a higher budget for NASA to begin work on lunar colonies. But that's a big IF.
Pilchard123:
Hm? Oh.
I wasn't trying to say that they were, just that that article was kinda relevant. Like you said, if raised 'correctly' (quotes because no two people will agree exactly what that means) a child may well be a boon to the planet.
idontunderstand:
It is relevant, but it's nothing I'm not aware of. I hold that there are many better ways of saving our planet than not having children. But then this is a side-track. I think most people who choose not to have children have other, likely more personal, reasons for not doing so.

Kills me having to agree with Newt Gingrich (sp?) on something as awesome as extra-terrestrial colonization, but space makes strange bedfellows!
