 Spoken as only someone who's produced four little people where two
 would be [barely] acceptable, and just one would be something to not
 feel terribly guilty about, can speak.

 I'm thinking about trying to drum up some form of inheritable (or
 whatever the inverse of that is) consumption credit system.  At least
 it won't encourage people to build fission power plants (compare and
 contrast carbon credit schemes).  Ponder pulp.

 Is it just me or are the biggest / loudest names frequently the ones
 who don't get that population growth (or maintenance) is one of the
 biggest underlying causes of the problems, and certainly one of the
 biggest concerns for the range of inevitable problems of the future?
