OK, but why pick on kids? There are far more old people than children. Maybe we should get rid of everyone over 50? I mean, old people use up far more resources than kids. I think one 50 year old human uses as much resources as like 20 kids or something like that. Also old people can often smell bad.
I saw an episode of Star Trek NG, where on a certain planet no one was allowed to age past 54 years. At that age for the benefit of their planet, they killed them selves in a really pretentious ceremony. And I thought well, I guess their kids don't have to worry about paying for the retirements of their parents.
Look, the only thing that will fix any of these problems that we have *now* is nuclear power. Hopefully in the relatively near future, cold Fusion and hydrogen. What I remember being told was that the only problem with Hydrogen is that its difficult to produce in the way we need it. But we already know how. Those hydro engines generated only water as waste, and the claim was that, that water could even be consumed safely.
So rather than worrying about what other people do with their lives and how much they need to consume, why don't people actually just fix the problems?.. Cheap renewable, clean energy... Oh yeah I forgot, because none of this is actually about solving problems, its about control and power and dollars and politics. Silly me.
I mean why talk about people as the problem rather than the tech as the solution? I guess every interest needs an enemy? Of course we can logically see that getting rid of "some people" wont solve any problems (that is a band aid also really sick darwinian thinking). The only thing that will solve the problem is real energy solutions, all of which the green lobby opposes. So...
