As y'all know, I'm a big fan of simplistic answers. Population control sounds good to me. I'll go as far as to suggest selective neutering. I'll even volunteer to be the Grand Poobah of Population Control and annoint myself the Grand Decider of who can and can't reproduce. If you want to reproduce, please apply to me for permission. You must submit proof of your SAT scores, affinity for sports, hair color and preference for dogs or cats. I will then use my own arbitrary preferences and a coin flip to assign reproductive rights. I'm also open to bribery as it shows initiative and belief in Coasian solutions. I'm pretty sure this would make the world a happier place...at least for me.
This makes a little more sense:
Writing in today's Medical Journal of Australia, Associate Professor Barry Walters said every couple with more than two children should be taxed to pay for enough trees to offset the carbon emissions generated over each child's lifetime.
Just a little...or maybe not.
