Poll: Overpopulation is a serious problem and you get to cast the deciding vote. Which do you choose? This poll is closed.
It is more important that people can decide how many children they want to have, than that they can have enough food to eat. So I vote that there will be no forced restrictions on having children, and so millions of people will starve to death.	36.00%	9	36.00%
It is more important that people do not starve to death, than that they have the freedom to reproduce at will. So I vote that there will be forced restrictions on having children, and so people will be forcibly made sterile once they have children.	64.00%	16	64.00%
Total		25 vote(s)	100%

*I mean to say unconceived, though, as far as embryos go, they shouldn't matter either, as they can't really feel anything[as far as I know, that is; please correct me if I'm wrong about embryos. Anyway, my principle is this: don't care about it if it can't feel/know/think/grow(this means to say, if it can't develop without considerably endangering its own species in the process) or do any other thing considered human or even animal].

What I find fearful is the willingness to permit the government to violate privacy in such a profound manner ... my fear has nothing to do with the unborn.

That's all very laudable, Glenn Greenwald, except I never addressed you. But, sigh, I will respond to this vapidity anyway.

I never said I would be willing to let the government violate my privacy in any manner at all. Nor do I think anyone else did. But we can talk about it, if you like. -- Just start a thread on government surveillance. You'll get a load of me talking about that, mind you!

In a perfect world the government wouldn't fuck up... ever ... in any way, shape, or form. That's the only kind of world I'm willing to talk about, at least as far as these kinds of talks go. Keep that in mind.
