“Whatever it takes to avoid creating a new human is what we advocate.”

By Duane Lester • May 12th, 2008

In order to save the planet, some folks recycle, some take the bus. Others may buy organic in order to limit the use of chemicals.

Then, there are those that call for the extiction of the human race:

The Voluntary Human Extinction Movement, or VHEMT, consists of volunteers who have made active life decisions to remain childless for the benefit of the Earth, thereby preventing the extinction of millions of species of plants and animals.

While no one person takes credit for being the founder, Les U. Knight created its name and is the spokesperson for the movement.

“We’ve already exceeded Earth’s carrying capacity for humans by quite a bit,” Knight told WND. “We are using up our resources. The best way to stop it is by not breeding. It’s really the best way because the people we don’t create don’t exist, and so there’s no impact on them.”

How does he know “We’ve already exceeded Earth’s carrying capacity for humans by quite a bit?” Is there an owner’s manual? The lack of food in the world isn’t because there are too many people, but because there is too much government. I heard all this before somewhere. Oh yeah, The Population Bomb.

We were supposed to have millions starving to death in the 70s and 80s because there were just so many of us. Author Paul R. Ehrlich actually advocated “starving whole countries that refused to implement population control measures.” At least these guys are helping the planet by limiting the number of reproducing liberal knuckleheads.

I do agree we are overpopulated with them.
