  You know the world is a very big place. A very big place. You could probably put the entire population of the world on a small island like the Isle of Wight with room to spare although there might not be that much space for a man to shave.
  But I find this hysteria surrounding the increasing world population somewhat unhealthy.
  It implies that humankind is somehow intrinsically bad - inherently evil perhaps rather than a benign force (in the main) and should somehow be stopped from reproducing.
  This is simply wrong. The look on a Mother's face having given birth to a new born baby is a sight to behold whatever the reason for the birth be it through love, poverty, chance or whatever the reason. Mankind in general is a good thing surely? We are all Mankind.
  Are those who are worried about an increasing world population merely pulling up the drawbridge so that the world they live in remains comfortable 'till they depart from this world?
  Go back a few centuries for my analogy whereby the local old man (from central casting of course with his unkempt hair and dour demeanour) tells the stranger passing through, "Maarrrk moi words, this village has never bin the same since it got bigger. We used to have tweny people livin' 'ere and now it's bin ruined. We got fortyfive".
