rollickhooper, no defensiveness from me either - all questions can potentially lead to "collaborative positive feedback" - i am still without children and at a point where the big decision must be made while confronting global warming, arctic meltdown, justice meltdowns, etc. Likely I'll be erring on the side of the hubristic, perhaps, notion that I would be steering my kid(s) in the right direction. Adoption is another good option. <br><br>We do not need more people, but more educated people - be they african, euro, central american, north american, south american, asian. The earth would not mind hosting even 15 billion right-living souls. <br><br>Computers models may not be taking into account OUR "collaborative positive feedback."<br><br>Perhaps Jeff is reconciling or has reconciled these issues, as I presume he is immersed simultaneously in the miracle of new life and the horrors confronting us now and in the near future. There's a global meltdown outside, but the little tyke has also just massively poo'd his/her diaper! <br><br> <p></p><i></i>
