Uuuugggghhhh... not more of this... Look, people, global over-population is probably one of the easiest, most straight-forward problems to solve, and the solution is really, really easy: EDUCATE WOMEN I'm sort on time, but I can dig up the references later today if anyone wants. The strongest correlating factor with fertility rate is the education level of a population's women. When women are educated, fertility rate settles just above 2 children per women, which is right where you'd need it to keep global population static.

Along these lines is educating couples that having a family isn't a necessity in order to be considered 'normal'. My girlfriend (pseudo-wife at this point) and I get shocked looks from people when we tell them that we aren't having children, as if we need to have children in order to be considered a Normal American Family (tm).

> EDUCATE WOMEN Actually, TVs are enough. I don't recall whether it's more effective to give them to men or women.
