Calls for forced population control as a means to conquer global warming are in the news this week. We knew the Copenhagen climate conference would keep drawing out the cranks...Those who support population control are not enlightened thinkers, though they hold themselves to be. Quite often, "progressive" population control proponents have been racists who would use eugenics to ensure that "deficient" humans don't dilute the gene pool.
Other population control supporters simply harbor a misanthropic bitterness, obvious to those who don't share their worldview, toward their fellow man. They might have friends and maybe even families. But within them is a deep-seated loathing for their own kind because they see man as just another of Earth's many animal species. Human life, for these people, is cheap.
