George Cowley asks how many children I have - the answer is a modest two and I love them very much.
In 1900, there were 1.5 billion people in the world and despite wars, disease, genocide and so on, we are currently up to 6.5 billion. Predictions suggest that we may be around 14 billion by 2150. Few of them will be my work, George!
We ought to challenge George Cowley's pal
Jesus Christ's teachings about going forth and multiplying.
Yes, it may well be sacrilegious to call for restraint and self-control in an era of capitalist growth and rampant consumerist greed. After all, no one must challenge the Bible or the Koran or the holiest of all - the rich consumer.
Heaven help our grandchildren.
