Personally, I don’t see anything wrong with a zero population growth philosophy.

I believe it.

There are a lot of anti-human people in this world, and many of them think they're conservatives.

I believe that overcrowding leads to incivility and incivility leads to more government and more government leads to socialism. I have lived in a large metropolitan area for 8 years while working throughout many of the rural areas of Ohio. I can tell you without any doubt the more people you cram into an area the more crime, hostility, rudeness and selfishness you will observe. I don't think it is a coincidence that the 'blue' socialist areas of our nation are the crowded urban areas.

I'm certainly not anti-human. I'm pro-life in all cases (including rape and incest), anti-death penalty, against state funded embrionic stem cell research and against doctor assisted suicide.

As I said before, depriving liberty is NEVER an option. I believe civic policy in the gray areas where liberty is not a question could benefit from a zero-growth perspective.
