Here we go again. The perennial call for population control comes always
from people like Randall Hughes who’ve enjoyed the good life - as we can infer
from his Whitby address – and want to preserve it for themselves and their progeny.
The evils of hunger and global warming will never be addressed by the evil
of controlling others. What means does Hughes suggest we employ? Sterilisation?
It would never happen in Whitby, so that’s a safe bet.
What needs controlling is not breeding, but greed and consumerism in
over-developed nations like ours. If each of us ate and consumed only what we
need, there’d be enough to go round the whole world.
Hughes wants to find “a new amazing source of non-polluting energy”. We
found it two thousand years ago in the word of God, so it’s hardly new, but being
greedy we don't use it.
If we did, we’d live as Christ did – frugally,
and sharing what we have with those who have not.
