Hello Jeff,

JS>Hello Lee. Thanks for sharing your pointers and views regarding
JS>FidoNet and FidoNet users.

JS>Well, being as this is the conspiracy theory echo, let me throw
JS>something really wild out there and see what people think.

Girls gone wild?  That could be fun.  :)

JS>Have you ever stopped to consider that promoting abortion and gay
JS>and lesbian rights might actually be a subtle form of government
JS>sanctioned population growth control?

As part of a larger population growth conspiracy, it is very possible.

JS>Think about it. Every nation has limited resources, and some more
JS>than other.

The planet as a whole has limited (or finite) resources.  Each
and every country trades with other countries, no country being totally
independent. However, it is not so much a question of limited resources,
but rather how poorly mankind has managed those limited resources.

JS>A country can only comfortably support a total population of a
JS>certain size before it begins to strain those limited resources.

What is that "certain size"?  This planet as a whole can easily
support at least 100 billion people.  Yet the world population today
is roughly six and a half billion.  On hundred years ago the same
arguments were being made about the earth being over-populated, but
those arguments turned out to be bogus.  Just as those arguments
today.  So what is the problem?  Is it really "over-population"?
Or rather poor management of finite resources?

JS>Consider how slowly the population of the USA has grown over the
JS>decades, while some other nations' populations explode.

The population of the USA continues to grow only because of
immigration.  In Europe, the population is declining.  In Japan,
the population is declining.  In Russia, the population is declining.
In Israel, the population is declining.  Yet in Muslim countries,
the population is increasing by leaps and bounds.

JS>By promoting abortion, birth control, and gay and lesbian rights, the
JS>government is in effect deceiving the people into thinking that it is their
JS>idea, that is, the people's idea, to keep the size of the population in chec
JS>but is it really the people's idea, or is it really the government, which
JS>realizes that there are only so many resources to go around, and that if the
JS>is a short supply of those resources, due to an extended population, there i
JS>going to be trouble?

Abortion is taboo in the Muslim world.  Birth control is taboo in
the Muslim world.  Homosexuality is taboo in the Muslim world.  But
not so in the West.  It used to be that abortion, birth control, and
homosexuality were taboo in Western cultures, due to the influence
of Christianity.  Judaism is a very worldly religion, and as such
does not place as much emphasis on abortion, birth control, or
homosexuality as do Muslims and (religious) Christians.  Because
the world has grown more secular, it is possible for a conspiracy
to limit population to take hold.

JS>Abortion cuts down on population growth.
JS>Birth control cuts down on population growth.
JS>Being gay or lesbian cuts down on population growth.

JS>Sounds crazy, doesn't it? But what if it is true?

With fewer people around, more land is available for a wealthy
elite to gobble up.  What if some elitist group set in motion a
plan to eliminate 90% of the world population, through peaceful
means.  How would this elite group go about doing so, without
the people revolting?

Of course, limiting such a plan to abortion, birth control, and
the promotion of same-sex marriage would take a very long time to
eliminate such a vastly large number of people.  Certainly there
has to be a faster way.

Let's add lots of estrogen to the water supply.
Let's pollute the air with lots of contaminants.
Let's blow up the moon so women can't menstruate.
That should be for starters.  :)
