Now...this is the only spot where I have to completely disagree.
Babies ARE optional. Today they are. They may not have been in the past because we didn't know how to make them be "optional" - but today they are. It is a reality that goes right up there with the "take responsibility for your life" mantra.
Moreover, when individuals have babies, not ONE does it for the continuation of humanity. NOT as a rational choice.
The continuation of humanity is really the last of my concern and the last of 99,99999% of individuals on this Earth (minus the nuts) when the decide to make a baby.
What most "concerned people" are concerned with (those that are concerned at all, many just want to F***), is their own lives, and at best, their children's and maybe (MAYBE!) grandchildren's lives.
Not what will happen to "humanity" as a whole, centuries or millenia from now, if they stopped screwing.
Because really, even if it came to that, I am sure that the Planet will be just fine once the human race makes its exit from here. Of course, it will never come to this, when we'll make our exit, we will make it by exterminating each other, not from lack of breeding.
But again, the fewer people born into desperation, the better the quality of life for future generations and the lower the chance of exterminating each other like butchers with a death wish.
Like I read somewhere..."if sex is the urge to procreate, then hunger is the urge to defecate".
