What Birth Dearth?

摘要

The "birth dearth" notion currently being peddled by neoconservative Ben Wattenberg, and gladly bought and re-sold by the media, is just another gnat in need of swatting by people of conscience. How absurd to suggest that a smaller human population would have negative impact, or be "bad for the economy." Whose economy? Certainly not that of the growing numbers of sick and starving masses for whom any fruits their paltry economies might bear are well out of reach.
