I believe that we do need some sort of population management. Not as strict as a one-child policy, say, but something that will keep our numbers from ballooning out of control.

Thanks again for dropping by. Do tell your friends about us.

i see what you mean by the whole rationale,but i think that’s an obsolete, escapist thinking.

i would want to explain more but it takes time for me to coalese my thoughts, and i’ll just leave you with that. and i figured we’d pretty much have the same view regarding this.

nice site you have here. really enjoyed this blog. you deserve the hit.

Thanks for dropping by, Pavliuts.

I think that the whole rationale behind the population not being a concern is in the sense that it is all in God’s plan.

According to the Humanae Vitae that the Vatican issued in ’68, because God doesn’t allow each instance of intercourse to result in a pregnancy, all pregnancies are regulated by God in His own way of family planning. I doubt, though, whether the Vatican includes budget planning in there.

i think the one of the reason isn’t that there’s a weak lobby for artificial contraceptives, but that she doesn’t want to piss the church off.

I’ve recently been interested in this population issue, and it make my nerves cringe hearing the priest and pro-life view that population control isn’t matter of concern, they still think that its purely the government fault, though i don’t totally contest that notion at all.

“birth control will also help them by virtue of not having a baby nine months after having sex, which, increasingly, is the only form of recreation that we can still afford.” -from the way i see it, it couldn’t be better said.
