Yeah, Phil. The other side of that problem can be worse than the side I described. However, although I am not particularly "into" Eastern thought or religion, I do think there is something to the idea of karma. People who treat kids badly, hurt them, abuse them... Well, I believe there is a special place in hell reserved just for them. If we're lucky, we get to see them punished before they make that final trip.
In one way or another that population issue has been a recognized problem for civilized nations around the world... The more intelligent, educated and compassionate people seem to choose to have only one or two kids while the stupid, irresponsible and horses' arses among us have litters of little, stupid, nonproductive b@st@rds. England is seeing that with their native Anglo-Saxon population being rapidly overtaken by minorities. France will be unable to avoid a mooslim majority by 2030. Russia is facing a similar problem. In the US of A, the more educated among us regularly produce only one or two kids, while the uneducated and poor manage to pop out dozens of welfare puppies. That is a generalization as there are some wonderful people with large families--but not too many. It will drive you nuts if you let it. All we can do is hope that Darwin takes care of the really stupid before they manage to breed.
