Right.
And a coment made in a cynical moment also is not statistical analysis. I'll say it once more, mea culpa for not addin in the appropriate disclaimers. But I haven't seen anything that proves it to be completely
100% bogus. Again, it'd be *nice* to see some stats that prove the comment is just a blivet. Until then, it's my casual observation that it's more often true than not. Which doesn't in itself deny that your observation might be different.I'm not sure it's a good analogy, because there is some science behind the warnings. And I have no patience whatsoever for the opposing notion of "we didn't cause it all, so we can pollute and multiply and screw the environment up however much we want".
Very few things are either-or situations; most are interactions between two or more phemomena. That being said, if something *can* be mitigated, it seems silly to simply let things continue getting worse.
Granted on all of the above. But it still seems to me that people who are more thoughtful are generally not very inclined to have more children than they can effectively rear and support.
