Just keep whistling past the graveyard, Leon. After all you and I will
be dead when it comes time to pay the piper :-).

And once we reach that level will we rely on the
government to enforce that number? Will we toss the new born or dispose
of one of the parents?

How many years ago was it that most people smoked? A combination of
changing public opinion and increasing taxes made quite a difference.

And I see nothing wrong with limiting the number of children and then
requiring that any man who'd reached the limit have a vasectomy. And
with DNA testing there'd be no doubt who the father was.

And before you ask, yes I did.
