One Women One Child
I've had a bad feeling about the human population since college. It struck me then, as I noticed the increase in abortions and the over all approval of abortion, that the world population was still exploding despite. I can remember going home for the weekends, sitting at the dinner table, insistent on discussing world issues and passionately expressing my fears regarding the population to my parents. I felt the lack of reaction meant that maybe I was misinterpreting the problem or over zealous as usual. That maybe I was creating a problem that really wasn't there? But then I would ask myself why would I do that? I didn't have the sense to answer myself with, "Duh!! Because there IS a problem silly!" I lacked self confidence and didn't trust myself to believe what what I knew was true. Other's not seeming concerned was confusing.
The population is out of control. Our use and abuse of sex has become beyond perverse. It is wrong to grow babies in dishes and then inject a bunch of them into a woman in the hopes that a couple embryo's will take because nature isn't allowing them to have babies the old fashioned way. The chances are pretty good that she'll conceive. Fertility drugs and multiple, ego driven, irresponsible pregnancies are reaping havoc in this country and in Asia and all over the world. No one can point the finger of blame at the poor, it costs rich white folks fortunes to use technology to create babies.
So many times when listening to him, Terrence McKenna has stunned me with his unparallelled intelligence and charm. This is him speaking on the subject of population control. Take a listen, the mushroom Goddess told him something important...
I pray that we can implement this change and help the planet replenish Herself. We've over used Her for far too long. I've lived the reality of being a woman with one child and it has been very empowering.
