But it is no good using the tongs of reason to pull the Fundamentalists’ chestnuts out of the fire of contradiction. Their real troubles lie elsewhere Picture Quote #1

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights describes the family as the natural and fundamental unit of society. It follows that any choice and decision with regard to the size of the family must irrevocably rest with the family itself, and cannot be made by anyone else Picture Quote #1

Economists (and others) who are satisfied with nature-free equations develop a dangerous hubris about the potency of our species Picture Quote #1

In a competitive world of limited resources, total freedom of individual action is intolerable Picture Quote #1

What features of your daily life do you expect to be improved by a further increase in population? Picture Quote #1

It takes five years for a willing person’s mind to change. Have patience with yourself and others when treading in an area protected by a taboo Picture Quote #1

The morality of an act is a function of the state of the system at the time it is performed Picture Quote #1

Using the commons as a cesspool does not harm the general public under frontier conditions, because there is no public, the same behavior in a metropolis is unbearable Picture Quote #1

In an approximate way, the logic of commons has been understood for a long time, perhaps since the discovery of agriculture or the invention of private property in real estate Picture Quote #1

In a finite world this means that the per capita share of the world’s goods must steadily decrease Picture Quote #1

Indeed, our particular concept of private property, which deters us from exhausting the positive resources of the earth, favors pollution Picture Quote #1

Of course, a positive growth rate might be taken as evidence that a population is below its optimum Picture Quote #1
