Everyone wants to be green these days. That is why I found this little satire in the April 2009 Fast Company magazine awesome.
Condoms and contraceptives in general are the easiest and cheapest (next to abstinence-but what is the fun in that!) to help control the growing population.
The problem is that the places where condoms are the most available aren't where we need to be worrying about the growing population. Africa, India and China are the worlds leading countries/continents where the population growth is steadily growing. There are soo many remote villages in these places that do not have family planning or contraceptives readily available. This is where we need to be concentrating our efforts.
I learned both in my Psychology and Environmental Science class that recent college graduates have been questioned on how many children they are planning to have. An alarming majority has said that they will only have 1 or just stick with having a dog. This is great for America, that means that we need to be helping other countries with their family planning and contraceptive awareness.
The problem with that is - it's the educated people who are saying they only want to have 1 child or own a dog. It's the uneducated who are procreating at alarming rates, which just perpetuates the problem of having more stupid people in the world, and then the cycle continues - it's a vicious cycle.
ReplyDeleteYes but the educated people need to be brought together to help bring sex health education to the poor areas. I mean think about it, if there was a birth control druggies could snort their would be no more crack babies....
ReplyDeleteI think you mean a birth control crack heads could smoke, they usually aren't real keen on insufflated introduction of substances. Better yet, if a person is deemed to be an irresponsible substance abuser, or poor candidate for procreation, just sterilize them. I don't say this in jest, I am a full believer in the idea of parental candidacy based on intelligence and whether or not a persons genetics and offspring will be a valuable contribution to society. Just IMO
