Zimba for President

Zimba said:
Thank you for not breeding (penalties will include mandatory sterilization, public service and substantial fines to be directed
towards improvements for Earth's ecology and wildlife habitat restoration)! Zimba for President
While I understand and appreciate your tongue firmly implanted in cheek, I also sympathize with your stance.
 
I am the "fearless leader" of a group that is held in even lower regard than VHEMT.
 
That group, and this, includes many member who have made voluntary and personal choices, and are in no way interested in actively taking a political role.
 
You recognize that in order to achieve success, powerful forces will need to be moved into agreement with our position.
 
Not likely to happen.  But it is nice that you are interested in making it so.

Civilizations Last Chance? I'll bet against!

THE LA TIMES HAD A VERY INTERESTING EDITORIAL ON THE FRONT OF THE OPINION SECTION TODAY.
HERE'S THE ARTICLE AND MY LETTER TO THE EDITOR...
 
Human Caused Global Climate Chaos is the inevitable result of our profligate ways...and reflects our individual human selfishness as accomodated by capitalism!
 
NOTHING on the horizon shows any hope for a significant decrease in CO2 and other emissions, and the article didn't mention the failure of fisheries, drought and lack of potable water, deforestation, deglaciation, and other traumas...since the real problem is overpopulation of humans...
 
Corporations control the future, NOT GOVERNMENTS, and profits are their mission, not people or climate.
 
To reduce the inevitable suffering, I choose to be childfree. 
Any other choice is immoral, given the future we've created.
