You would think, with all the information that comes from all our technology, that someone in government really would address a problem that will eventually kill our species on this planet. The reason that you don't hear politicians bringing this fact out, is because it's not politically correct. The idea of a government telling a couple they can only have one child is not a popular idea. Still, it is necessary and we should've done it yesterday. Not only would we cut the world's population and have them 50 years, having only one child, would mean that that child would have more attention and more resources at their disposal.
This is a short article because what I said is probably the biggest truth that anyone has ever said. The idea that the earth can support seven or 8 billion souls, is mad. If people truly want to change the world and make it a better place this is probably the most important thing that they could do. If a couple makes a mistake and has more than one child that child should be given to a couple that has no child. That sounds harsh but is the only way that we can sustain human life on this planet. I think that's important enough to think about.
