I agree with Doug.

If people only raised the number of children they were able to support & 
nuture  AND everyone one was in a position to know that number AND if 
everyone was able to ensure they didn't have more than that number, we would 
end up with the appropriate world population, and far less suffering.

What's more a lot of people are probably well off today because their 
parents and grand parents made good decisions about the number of offspring 
they could support.

Regards,

Wayne.
