"Just as guarding territory manages population, so it contributes to eagle survival, one child per woman behaviors would be a mechanism to manage the human population to ensure human survival.
"The one child per woman behavior is not yet part of many political, religious, or ecological agendas. Thus, we can conclude that humankind has no better survival strategy than eagles -- both are headed for hard times and extinction.
"The only difference is that we know it. We know that if we rapidly reduce population through fewer births, we can avoid billions dying of starvation, and more billions dying of conflict. We know that if we refrain from collapsing our civilization we can avoid a dark age -- maybe a dark age from which we cannot recover.
"The future is darker than we think. However, if we think, we can see it and we can act to achieve our own survival. Eagle survival comes with the package.
Stark reality? You betcha'! However, we enjoy choices in 2009 and more in 2010 to change humanity's course. Please visit such websites as www.skil.org ; www.numbersusa.com ; www.thesocialcontract.com ; www.fairus.org
