What I think about this editorial can't really be described in words
appropriate for this forum, but this guy's constant use of negative
adjectives to describe a group of people concerned about taking action in
situations that don't involve their own selfish needs is a pretty clear
indication that he's not an open-minded individual. He's probably one of
these ***holes who thinks it's everyone's right to have seventeen children
if they want to, regardless of the economic stress such huge families place
on the dwindling resources on this planet. If human beings were smart
enough to exercise population control, we wouldn't have to worry about a
jerk-off like this arguing for the continued destruction of old growth
forests just so his thirty-three grandchildren can have a place to live.
