 <description>It&amp;#146;s just occurred to me that what illiberal environmentalists refer to as &amp;#145;urban sprawl&amp;#146; is in reality - Western civilisation.
 
It stands to reason, if the great metropolis of London, New York or Tokyo are nothing but giant fleapits &amp;#150; then Andrew Deas&#039;s obsession with cutting the numbers of human beings must be a good thing?</description>

 <description>As has been noted in some of the articles here people will act out of there own self interest...it is human nature.

if people were offered $5000 (or say 10% of thier countries average annual income) to have visectomies and tubular ligations (?) then the population would drop quite a lot within a generation or two.

urban sprawl would cease, emmissions would decrease etc.
