But when you get right down to it, it is the practice of taking one human life because another person has made a value judgment–too young, too imperfect, too inconvenient.

Now that we have gotten used to the canard that it is not really human until it has been out of the womb and taken a breath, that has been expanded, as in the infamous Chicago case, to mean that even it if the life IS out of the womb, and IS breathing, it is still not valued as a human life and is not entitled to basic human rights. According to some, including Obama, the real issue here is whether or not the woman WANTED the baby to live, not the status of the baby.

So why stop at abortion as a means of limiting population? Why not go all the way into Socialist Nirvana and start assigning value to human life based on all sorts of criteria? If it is OK to take a human life because it is too young (in the first trimester, for example) then why not because it is too old? 65? 70? Pick a number.

If it is OK to take a human life in utero because of a perceived and disliked “defect” then why not eliminate all post-embryonic life that is not perfect? Amputees? Any of the infirm? Drooling? Bad memory?

There is the logical conclusion that the elites in power might determine that a certain political orientation is a defect, as so many of you Libs already have……………..

And after all, isn’t it a lot easier to kill people than to solve problems in other ways? A simple saline injection, or suction procedure, is obviously easier than designing and installing a filtrtion system for water.

I suggest we take a look at the hysteria of the 60’s, such as “The Population Bomb” and see how many of those dire predictions actually have transpired, before we start wiping out human life willy-nilly, in the name of saving human life.

Wow. You’ve said some really ridiculous things during scientific discussions, but this might just take the cake. You should probably just avoid any sort of scientific discussion altogether, Mark–you just end up embarrassing yourself horribly every time. In fact, you should probably just remove the word “science” from your vocabulary until you develop even an elementary fluency in the subject.

Ever taken any sort of chemistry class?

I might ask you the same thing. Just to begin with, do you have any idea how much goes into desalinization? Do you understand that the mere fact that water is composed of hydrogen and oxygen does not mean that you can just empty a box of each into a mixing bowl, stir it it, and end up with water?

That’s exactly right.

You know, I have drank numerous times out of the small mountain streams … I was on a fishing trip one time, it was in the spring-time, mid-April, early-May, somewhere around there…so it had started to warm up quite a bit, and I was getting thirsty…of course, I never thought to take some water, or I had drank all that I brought with me…one of the two, but anyway, I started searching for water…and I knew that I wouldn’t want to drink the water in the stream…it was a stream that held brook trout, and they say that if trout can live in it, that it’s good water, because little brookies have to have especially clean, cold water to survive and reproduce in…but anyway, with the abundance of deer we had, I decided that I wasn’t going to try it, for fear of Ecoli, a nasty little bug found common in many streams, especially where animals congregate, and slower running streams, like rivers … so I went off looking for water, and so happened, while I was digging a few ramps, I hear water dripping, I kept looking around, and finally I spotted it, there was a steady stream running out of the rock-embankment there in front of me … so I hollered for my friends to come, and so we all knelt down there debating it, and came to the conclusion that since it was so confined that the animals could not contaminate it….So we all cupped our hands underneath it and drank to our contentment….and it was really good water too. I have since drank out of numerous small seeps like that.

Anyway, just to caution against any water-born diseases….a neat little camper’s trick to purifying water is to boil it for at least ten minutes, then it’s as clean or cleaner than the tap water you get out of your well or the water you pay for from the city.

Well water is the best, as it goes through the natural purification process…through a layer of shale, then a layer of delayed carbon, a layer of rock, and a layer of coal again, but it at last is laying on granite or limestone….limestone water is very good, sweet water.

You think once water is dirty is stays dirty forever? Ever taken any sort of chemistry class?

We rebuilt the Las Vegas Wash in order to revive some of the native species in our area and to clean the city runoff before it goes into Lake Mead – dirty water goes in one end of the wash, clean water comes out the other end by ENTIRELY NATURAL PROCESS. Water is hydrogen and oxygen – these are basic elements, you can’t get them dirty, you can just have them mixed with dirt. Take out the dirt, and you’ve just got plain, old water…

True.

Especially when they’re instructed in reverse judgment.

Until you realize that water is made of hydrogen and oxygen…not the most uncommon elements in the world, right?

All water is usable and the amount of water on Earth is de-facto limitless as it can be used over and over again.

Please, please, please tell me you’re joking.

If you don’t have, and knowingly don’t have the necessary financial abilities to care for a child … why would you then choose to have sex?

Teenagers are not famous for their judgment.

then the population of the world would be 35,948,000,000. We’re a long way from that – and, in fact, there is no rational argument to be made that human population would ever rise that high.

Let’s assume that the entire world becomes the technological utopia you seem to be envisioning, and that no birth control, of any kind, is ever used. Right now, the countries with the highest birth rates are at about 50/1000 people = 5%. Of course, not all that are born survive to reproduce. The current lowest child mortality rates in the world is 4/1000 live births = 0.4%. Multiply the two and subtract from the first and you get 4.98%. The lowest death rate in the world is 1.4/1000 people = 0.14%. 4.98% – 0.14% gives us an annual growth rate of 4.84%. Starting from the present population of 6.7 billion, we solve for

35,948,000,000=6,700,000,000·1.0484ᵗ

and get t = 35.5434 years. Note that my math may be a little shaky, but also remember that Einstein once said, “The most powerful force in the universe is compound interest.”

Essentially, the resources of the world are unlimited as human ingenuity has always proved able to adapt to changing conditions.

moral failure on the part of populations to stand strong for liberty, moral failure on the part of the successful to help the less fortunate, moral failure on the part of ruling elites to govern properly.

Therein lies the rub. We have a moral imperative to foster such ingenuity. However, we have been falling short. The entenched powers have been fighting the ingenuity tooth and nail — sabotaging the development of the electric car, fighting against alternative energy initiatives, denying that problems even exist, and so forth.

To make the answer to moral failure the immoral act of killing unborn and restricting the development in new life is to compound the error.

First and foremost, no one except the Chinese government is advocating forced abortion. If the UNFPA has been involved in that, charges need to be filed. However, the opposition to birth control is nonsensical. Yes, it would be nice if we had the technology to support unlimited population growth, but we don’t.

Scaremongering is just one of their tactics, or one half I should say…the other half is sexual gratification … but even then, they still use scare tactics to try and persuade women to believe that having a baby “endangers” their life, and that the child will have “insufficient” care.

If you don’t have, and knowingly don’t have the necessary financial abilities to care for a child … why would you then choose to have sex?

Yet the Democrats continue enforcing the idea, especially in education that it’s “ok” to have sex before marriage and even though they may not be financially stable enough to do so. They don’t even encourage good work ethics, “Just depend on the government”, and if you do work, “don’t have children, they will get in the way.” “If you do get pregnant, just hop on down to your nearest Planned Parenthood clinic and they’ll remove the “parasite, ASAP”.” And as if destroying the unborn is not enough, they now encourage the most abhorrent and dangerous form of sexual behavior ever as a further deterrent to the family unit … sodomy.

Sex and scaremongering all the way around …

More sex, more sex, more sex, more sex…kill, kill, kill … more sex, more sex, more sex … kill, kill, kill … more sex, more sex, more sex …. kill, kill, kill … more sex, more sex, more sex….

Just about everything is based upon unlimited sexual gratification … and they know if they can get their way with it, that it will destroy society, even themselves.

For those of you reading this … I leave you with a simple offer. As we see the times corroding more quickly with each passing day … won’t you ask Christ into your heart and life?

Just as He promised Abraham, He will promise you…fulfilling the covenant, once more, with a lost soul in so desperate a need of His love and direction.

Until you realize that water is made of hydrogen and oxygen…not the most uncommon elements in the world, right?

All water is usable and the amount of water on Earth is de-facto limitless as it can be used over and over again.

Think about some things – Lake Baikal in Russia has about 20% of the surface freshwater on Earth…not exactly the most tapped resource.

Certainly there are areas where water management is required – out here in Las Vegas in spite of large population increases we’re actually using less water than we did five years ago due to wise incentives and management. All it took was for us to make the correct moral choices – drain our water supply for lawns we don’t need, or switch over to plants native to the area…we choose correctly, and so can everyone else.
