This is only to avoid their extinction and subsequent loss of genetic variation of the human specie. While from a moral point of view no race is better than any other, more races are better than fewer races from the biological point of view.<BR/><BR/>If the population of earth has not breeched the biological maximum already, we should stabilize all ethnic populations on their current levels by promoting a 2.1 child policy.<BR/><BR/>If the earth is already too populated the responsibility for decreasing our numbers should fall on the largest ethnicities, ethnicities with growing numbers and ethnicities in most densely populated areas. Other ethnicities should maintain stabile numbers until the population of earth normalizes, even tiny ones. <BR/><BR/>These policies should only be advanced for the sake of biological wealth and ecological stability, no economical or political motives here.<BR/><BR/>PS Whenever an ideology tries to gain influence through breeding, it as a dead giveaway of poor ideas.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16594468.post-1156903912715876582006-08-29T20:11:00.000-06:002006-08-29T20:11:00.000-06:00Alonzo,Bravo on the observation that the concern o...Alonzo,<BR/>Bravo on the observation that the concern of the likes of Charles Gibson to have more white babies is open and blatant racism.<BR/><BR/>On this concern about having babies to promote ideology and religion. You say:<BR/><BR/>"Of course, evidence does suggest that children are significantly likely to adopt the views of their parents – no matter how foolish their parents’ ideas happen to be."<BR/><BR/>While this may be true, I can't help but think that those who think that having more babies will result in the victory of their ideology are mistaken. First, there are always defectors from their parent's ideology. Most of the time defectors may be only a small minority. However, I wonder if the current rise in religiosity might cycle into a movement of defection by their offspring?<BR/><BR/>Just a thought.Sheldonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03743116454273042629noreply@blogger.com
