LostTraveler - I meant those more as suggestions than actual solutions. Ã, But as Rich pointed out, sometimes it's necessary to do radical things. Ã, I, too, am all for radical change if the end result is worth it. Ã, And I think over population and neglegent parenting is a big enough issue to warrent taking drastic steps to remedy the problem.
DragonRose - Unbelievable ... and then they get mad 'cause they got in trouble for being ignorant ... oh the irony.
That's a pretty good idea ... the sterilization at birth thing. Ã, I mean, sure, it too is drastic. Ã, But you're absolutely right that nobody has the right to screw up somebody elses life.
It's too bad if can't be programmed into the human code:
if (person = bad) {
set reproduce=0; // no children allowed
}
else if (person = good) {
set reproduce=1; // can have 1 child
}
else if (person = great) {
set reproduce=2; // can reproduce at will
}
}
Perhaps someday ...
