Two Hurrahs for Overpopulation?

[http://dummy.us.eu.org/robert (robert)]

It's ironic that in an issue where you argue for the HMO coverage of
contraceptives, Ellen Barry proclaims the virtues of overpopulation
(population growth).  Eric Widmaier's thesis that we shouldn't have
survived has yet to be born out and probably we shouldn't survive if the
environmental destruction due to our thirst for suburban homes, luxurious
cars, and fresh meat on the table continues.  (By the way, Widmaier's
claim that humans are omnivores is also doubtful -- we do not have
canines.)  Since a change in our consumptive behaviors is unlikely any
time soon, our extinction should be as humane as possible: lowering birth
rates below replacement level.  So, let's push for the complete accessibility
of contraceptives for all!
