Rezwan, back to your riding a horse to the next town wish:
“”My three main goals would be to reduce human population to
about 100 million worldwide, destroy the industrial infrastructure
and see wilderness, with it’s full complement of species,
returning throughout the world.”
-Dave Foreman,
co-founder of Earth First! “
Ah, bucolic perfection, indeed!
(But my question for Dave is the same as I have for Jehovah’s Witnesses: ‘What makes you think YOU’LL be one of the Elect?’)
Estimates vary, of course:
“A total population of 250-300 million people,
a 95% decline from present levels, would be ideal.”
– Ted Turner,
founder of CNN and major UN donor
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“… the resultant ideal sustainable population is hence
more than 500 million but less than one billion.”
– Club of Rome,
Goals for Mankind
Misanthropy can be SUCH fun once you get into the spirit of it! :cheese:
