DOWN WITH HUMANS!
December 10, 2007
That seems to be the rallying cry of Barry Walters, an Australian academic, as cited by the Tax Grrrl:
He believes that families should pay a $5000-plus “baby levy” at birth and an annual carbon tax of up to $800 per child. His proposal appears in a current edition of the Medical Journal of Australia. He also suggests that population controls like those used in China and India aren’t such a bad thing.
It's not such a bad thing to have state snoops drag you in for forced abortions? To have neighborhood ovulation monitors? If that's not a bad thing, you are setting the bar for bad things awfully high.
If Mr. Walters thinks humans are so bad, he can always leave. If he stays around, though, there are some fun people he can hang out with.
