The following article is something that was forwarded to me by an old aquaintance from many years back. It is written with serious intent. It is not a joke from his point of view. To me it illustrates how much of a joke the left is. Their anti-anthropogenic leanings are obvious in the Man Made Global Warming schtick they pull out at every opportunity. I don’t know about you but I get really tired of hearing about it.
Just to repeat: I did not write the following. It is included here to illustrate the classic misanthropic nature of some of our current day OCD neurotic obsessions.

I thought you might like to read my response to a question someone sent today regarding the ill effects of population growth worldwide during the 21st century. During the 20th century the US and world population multiplied by more than four. Allowing this to have happened in the supposedly enlightened US resulted from ill advised policies driven by ‘democracy’ as fashioned throughout the century… was and remains utterly irresponsible. Presently, overpopulated nations such as China and India (collectively in excess of 2.5 Billion and growing by over 10 Million/month) use this fact amongst others to support irrational arguments when confronted on this subject. As a result these two nations emphatically demand that no other peoples or nations have a ‘right’ to instruct them to stop their respective unwarranted population growth. Consequently, our planet remains at terrible risk of crossing a non-recoverable tipping point driven by irreversible planetary heating which will cause the likely melting of both polar ice caps along with ice flows around Greenland. If such were to happen the seas would rise some 350 feet thus flooding coastal cities worldwide resulting in hundreds of millions of people perishing. For these reasons, allowing a quadrupling of world population to happen again this century would constitute the greatest crime perpetrated upon humanity by mankind. It has taken over five thousand years for earth’s population to number the present 6.5 Billion. As stated previously, this number will likely quadruple in the present century without the universal implementation of “Progeny Laws” worldwide. This fact is thoroughly addressed in my recent paper titled “The 21st Century Worldview…”. If world population is allowed to draconically enlarge this century… mankind’s fate is sealed. The resulting overpopulation will cause precious resources such as metals, minerals and other materials to become ever more scarce as they are consumed by industries to produce creature comforts in the form of goods and services which includes housing to accommodate the burgeoning numbers of workers. Such will cause prices for raw materials to skyrocket far beyond what they are today. Distracted by costly re-election campaigns throughout the 20th century that were and continue to be financed largely by corporations the elected leaders in the United States implemented novel policies driven by an over focus on social programs assuring, unwittingly, that but a very few people dominated the top economic positions within its society. This fact is the sole reason class disparities occurred to such a degree since the Civil War and continue in America to this day. As a result the United States today has some 480 BILLIONAIRES (in 1970 there were about a dozen). Vast wealth comprising some 7 TRILLION was acquired by this class throughout the 20th century in America. This was driven by predatory pricing of products and services. Today, this inherited largess is horded in ‘Trust Funds’ and ‘Foundations’. Trust managers of these organization hire professional advisors who pursue ways to ‘invest’ such amounts with the intention of replacing sums diminished by consumption, inflation and taxes (again, this fact is addressed in my paper titled “The 21st Century Worldview…”. Legacy foundations and trust funds are the rule of the day in the United States. They have replaced the ‘Trusts’ of the late 19th century. These vast foundations are identified and catalogued in two publications. One is titled “Guide to U.S. Foundations, Their Trustees, Officers, and Donors” with a second titled “The Foundation Directory”. The first comprises three very large volumes each the size of the New York state telephone book. The second is a single volume which is likewise the size of a very large telephone book. Each of these directories weighs literally several pounds. Collectively they exceed twenty pounds. Within these publications are listed over 45,000 foundations in which is horded the 7 TRILLION Dollars cited above that was acquired throughout the 20th century by their creators utilizing the predatory pricing tactics previously cited. Legacy foundation ‘investing’ by trustees has resulted in elevating, artificially, the ‘value’ of stocks traded on the NY stock exchange. This fact causes great wailing with seeming Apocalyptic greed amongst self serving executives in publicly owned corporations due to awareness that their compensation packages are loaded with abundant stock options. As a result corporate executives presently receive beyond 80% of their yearly enrichment derived from cashing in stock options whenever these stocks achieve new highs. Now you know why executives of publicly ‘owned’ corporations are never available to discuss products and services with customers. These executives are simply to busy for such distractions when otherwise perpetually monitoring current stock values on Wall street. The above details but some of America’s ills. There are, however, valid solutions to the economic and social problems of the United States. These solutions, though painful to implement, are fully addressed in my recent paper titled “The 21st Century View…”. In this paper I cite five elements needing to be immediately implemented in the United States to avert disaster. These elements comprise a truly super-progressive agenda for the 21st century. They encompass far beyond that which passes as solutions to social ills propounded by liberals who fashion themselves these days as ‘progressives’. While masquerading as supposed progressives these non-insightful, shallow and self serving ‘elected representatives’ have instead cleverly crafted the following as supposed solutions to America’s ills:
1). Raise the minimum wage… later to a so called living wage of some $15/hour
2). ‘Universal’ National Heath Care (regardless of costs resulting in enormous tax increases)
3). Gay & Lesbian ‘rights’ that champion marriage of ‘partners’ in so called ‘civil unions’ that itself will later assure the legal adoption of children (you will be able to wager on how many more “Columbines” occur traced to this… Lucky winners will appear in large numbers resulting from having guessed right on this issue during any one, two, three or five year period and as such become instant millionaires or even Billionaires !!!!)
4). No ultra-secure fence including machine gun posts constructed between America and Mexico (AMEREXICO …. how does it sound??)(The US presently endures over US 44 Million Mexicans… up from 2 Million in 1965)
5). Gay and Lesbian sexual orientation taught as ‘normal’ to children in 7th - 12th grades… how progressive…
6). Hate Laws assuring that complainers of the above will be dutifully vilified, ostracized, castigated and… incarcerated
7). ‘Affirmative’ Action… non-ending… need I say more…
8). ‘Diversity’ resulting in descendents of Caucasians comprising only 35% of the population within the U.S. by 2100 (presently 71%)… Get ready for ‘Reparations Laws’ !!!
The above eight line items are what pass as elements of a worthy agenda by members of the party of wit & wisdom. Below are five that instead should be implemented:
1). ZERO INFLATION LAWS… assuring that prices for goods and services never increase resulting in the elimination of the need to ‘invest’ in order to offset the ill effects of compound inflation (monetary devaluation) over a lifetime which as such causes the same goods and services to cost 7 - 10 times greater during retirement years.
2). CORPORATE GOVERNANCE LAWS … assuring that no corporation is used as a personal cash cow by executives and/or managers. Such positions must be filled
solely via a competitive reverse auction process for qualified candidates. Winners so derived will comprise individuals who cost the corporation the least (Neither stock options nor bonuses allowed). Successful candidates will also be required to pay for they and their family’s health care insurance. No salary increases… ever !
3). INHERITANCE LAWS …. $20,000,000.00 (Twenty Million Dollars) maximally may be allocated to a recipient or collectively to recipients pursuant to any will. All of the residual must be liquidated within 90 days and deposited into the US Federal and state treasury of descendent based upon an 80/20 ratio. So doing will assure the reduction of yearly deficits along with ultimately and most importantly the reduction of the National Debt in addition to providing significant tax relief for individual tax payers. Benefactors in the decedents estate shall not pay federal or state income taxes on any amount allocated to them.
4) PROGENY LAWS…. assuring that children are born only to couples who have been tested intellectually and found competent. No marriages before partners of only heterosexuals couples are a minimum age 21. No children whether by procreation or adoption before both partners are a minimum age of 25. No more than two children in a lifetime (unless one is replaced due to death of a present child before their 25th year).
5). ELIMINATION OF RESIDENTIAL REAL ESTATE MORTGAGING… assuring that home buyers are not victimized by banks resulting in 35% - 50% of their lifetime income before taxes being diverted to pay such ‘mortgages’. Implementation will replace those funds needing to be drived for retirement due to the ill effects of compound inflation over a lifetime (addressed above) which is the engine that solely drives the need to ‘invest’ for retirement (401K & IRA’s).
Implementation and strict enforcement of the above proposed laws should have comprised the agenda of the US Congress and state legislatures this first decade of the 21st century. So doing, if ever implement, will establish America again as being truly super-progressive and a guiding light to all humanity. Failure to implement some but not all of the above five elements of a 21st Century super-progressive agenda assures America’s and mankind’s doom.

I’d like to add just one more point. When I was 10 I was scared by all the Malthusian overpopulation talk. Over the years I’ve observed and simply decided it sells doomsday books but its not about objective reality. Sure it would be nice if Phoenix Arizona only had 400,000 people in it. But I’m mature enough to realize the difference between my preferences and what is really a problem.
