I tried to write him, but it was a disabled address.

I guess wannabe exterminators of humanity like to keep things on the D.L...

up here in the north we call that "chicken"

Perhaps I am jaded (perhaps?), but it is not surprising. I am sure, however, that said person does not advocate himself as one of the victims, nor his students. Its too bad his worshipers didn't ask him who would be saved and by what justification. It is indeed scary, but such is our times. As if the average person didn't have enough to worry about!

I haven't read this guy (although I've heard of him). Makes me wonder: Perhaps it takes something this outrageous to get people to even think about one of the biggest problems this planet will be facing in the not-so-distant future (over-population, that is).

I am not one who believes in the over-population "myth." But there are definitely many problems that need to be addressed. Perhaps such talk with stimulate some discussion. I sincerely doubt it.

I find it twisted that the writer tried to turn it into an issue of raceism. "no, I'm an equal opportunity mass murderer!". We do have some disturbingly ambitous scientist these days don't we? Maybe he should check out a site:

The difference between the scientific community and a psycho-ward is... they're actually aware of what they're doing.
