I do not have faith that a planetarily sufficient number of informed
people will make the personally altruistic, logical, rational,
reasonable, ecologically beneficial decision in this matter; in fact,
those who don't will eventually overwhelm those who do as a
percentage of the population - and that is a HUGE problem with
voluntary population control. Joe
