Pol Pot Porritt says UK must "cut" people... or else!

1984. It's not just a book anymore in merry olde England:

UK population must fall to 30m, says Porritt - Times Online Porritt said: “Population growth, plus economic growth, is putting the world under terrible pressure. “Each person in Britain has far more impact on the environment than those in developing countries so cutting our population is one way to reduce that impact.”
Why dither? Why not "cut" throats? Why not start with the kids. After all, the science is SOUND!
New Solution to Global Warming: Kill Your Children

Paul Murtaugh, a statistician at Corvallis' Oregon State University, claims that our carbon legacy isn't just limited to our own emissions, but 50% of our children's (The other parent gets the other 50%). And 25% of their children's, and so on, and so on. He arrived at this estimate using math. -- Mad Science: Your Child Causes Global Warming

Death cults, anyone?

I realize this is petty, and I should be ashamed of myself...

But am I the only one that's noticed that Paul Murtaugh advertises his personal page as a "Microsoft Free Zone?"

Why am I not surprised?

Francis Poretto,

Great, great post. Thanks for the link.

Gaia is hungry. Gaia is thirsty. Gaia wants sacrifice. Gaia wants babies.

Build a temple to Gaia and feed her babies, slake her thirst with blood.

Porritt, the high priest, will flay the victims and make proper vestments from their skins, jewlery from their bones.

We can only hope Porritt starts with his own family and those of the other believers.

Those who say there are too many people actually think, in truth, that there are too many OTHER people.

R. De Witt:
I noticed the microsoft free thing as well, along with "Don't worry, be happy" for philosophy of life. The microsoft free thing is like running your Prius on used kitchen grease, and fermented human excrement to save the ecology, mimimize your energy footprint, and stick it to the Man while doing so.
I looked it up; it's very cool. You just punch in some tens of millions of 1's and 0's really really fast each second, and it turns into a web page. Once you learn the code it's a piece of cake.

So why does it have to be an MD to provide "Death with Dignity"?

As the defense program I work on gets cancelled, why can't I open a chain of Green euthanasia shops? There is obviously an unmet need here and the market will provide.

I'd have package deals ranging from wine, Vivaldi, curari and a nice warm narcotic overdose to a cup of koolaid and a nice warm bullet.

Afterwards, you can choose from a spiritual Native-American "Sky Burial"; an environmentally conscious "excarnation"; or simply a cheap "left outside in the yard".

(and unlike Dr Kevorkian, I promise not to be creepy, paint pictures with my own blood and be a pest.)

For the Planet, y'know--It would be the new Starbucks.

Notice that they're not starting with themselves. If this is what they want, then they should set the example, do the right thing, and step in front of the first speeding bus they can find. I would then agree that the world would be a better place because of the thus-reduced population.

20-25 years down the road, septagenarians and older people who have contracted a serious but manageable disease will have been scratched off the triage/rationing lists of the national healthcare system to come.

I would advise such people to keep a concealed handgun in the bed somewhere so that when the people from the "clinic" wheel in the gurney to take you away, you can take out as many of them as possible. The inevitable SWAT team intervention will lead to your "suicide by cop."

Enough such incidents may wake up the rage in a whole lot of people, and the gurney crew won't even be able to make it to the oldster's house, much less get inside. Will the metrosexual, limp-dicked modern version of the "nazis" be willing to kill old people this way from behind a wall of armor and armaments?
