The Population Debate

As a current issue, population growth seems to all of a sudden something to think about. Quite honestly, it seems trivial. If the world is having a hell of a time dealing with the outcomes of its own effect on the planet, then surely adding more people to the pool is not going to help.

The driver for population growth may well be the issue that people really don't want to deal with. Has any of our political leaders dared to answer that question? To put it bluntly, the question people should be thinking about is why do we want more people being born into this world than are leaving it?

I think the answer actually touches on personal beliefs and opinions born from the heart. A topic that vote-buying politicians would rather avoid like 'another hole in the head'.
