Love me now. When I'm gone, who cares?

The other day I had cause to offer an analogy to someone who celebrated all the benefits that growing numbers bring.

Basically it was that a pint of beer being filled brought greater and greater benefits until the limit was reached. And then all you get is a mess. Oh, and immigartion and poulation are not the same, if related :)

I feel like offering the same to this guy: A retort to the population control freaks

I also note the interesting selection of new terminology in the headline from 'ists, ingers and zi's - the bible of the dodgy and/or losing cause counter argument brigade'.

He doesn't accept the assumption that this country is unbearably overcrowded – or would be at 71m. So... when would he accept it would... might be? Or is that a problem for a future person to try and have the guts to ponder before it is too late? Gosh, it must be lovely only to think liberal thoughts all the time where no realities creep in to spoil the view. And get paid to 'defend' them without fear of any consequence in your lifetime.

Sadly, thanks to the knees of such jerks (see, I can do double-e's, too), sensible discussion is seldom to be discovered, and so we are served the ponderings of those perhaps less sensitive to the human condition who, in complement, are not so worried about folk think of them. And are, hence, not the best advocates for rational views. But certainly gibe writers such as this enough to earn a crust.

Might explain the absence of statespersonship these days, I guess.

Imagine the reactions if this had been within the Guardian CIF section!
He'd be savaged and lauded to excess from both extreme sides of the argument!
