If we want to continue to GROW and expand there will not be enough. But why do we need to grow and expand? Bigger is not better. We've been talking for years about excelling. Some people must fail and some must remain average in order to have excellence. Otherwise excellence becomes average. There is no reason that companies need to continue to grow exponetially. There is no need for countries to rise in population from within. What would be so wrong if the world collectively reached a stable stasis? The earth cannot sustain the number of people on it now. We are in a food crisis worldwide. I am not dissuading people from having more children if they want. Allowing women to space their children appropriately increases the health of mother and child(ren). http://www.infoforhealth.org/pr/l13edsum.shtml And allowing women and men to choose to work, stay home or some form of those two increases family stability and mental health. (my own personal experience) The earth and family life as it is now cannot support large families. Many women are having children NOT by choice and then being unable to care for them properly they are abused(neglected) and abandoned to an overburdened system (if they are lucky). I'm not lobbying for small families or anything else. I'm arguing that there is nothing wrong with small families. And I"m arguing that WOMEN need a choice. Hi Santiago,

You don’t explain why you say there won’t be enough children? If we want to continue to GROW and expand there will not be enough. But why do we need to grow and expand? Bigger is not better.

We’ve been talking for years about excelling. Some people must fail and some must remain average in order to have excellence. Otherwise excellence becomes average. There is no reason that companies need to continue to grow exponetially. There is no need for countries to rise in population from within. What would be so wrong if the world collectively reached a stable stasis?

The earth cannot sustain the number of people on it now. We are in a food crisis worldwide.

I think that you would enjoy this video. When the European society discovered that in some years there will not be enough children, some, companies, celebrities and associations have prepared in Germany this video in 2005. In it they explain very well some reasons to have children. http://de.youtube.com/watch?v=fTh92FnV_i4&feature=user In the United States the low number of birth is not a big problem yet, but it could be in the future. I hope that this video help to every family to think. Cordially, Santiago Chiva Granada (Spain) www.opinionciudadano.blogspot.com Hello. I think that you would enjoy this video.
