It appears that Ted Turner, who is suddenly immensely concerned with the environment, thinks most countries (including the U.S.) should adopt China's one child per family rule. His main concern is that we (human beings) won't be here in 5,000 years if we keep growing exponentially. (But what about the whole Darwinism-survival-of-the-fittest-theory, Ted?)
Ted Turner is best known for starting CNN, the first 24 hour news station. He is one of the wealthiest men alive. He's had
"By the late 1990s, Ted Turner was worth more than $2 billion; the largest private landowner in the U.S., he divided his days between luxurious homes in six states. A flamboyant and shrewd businessman, he was also a celebrity who worked and lived in the fast lane. In December 1991, Turner married Jane Fonda, movie star and liberal activist. Two previous marriages had produced five children, who sit with Turner and Fonda [don't even get me started on her] on the board of the charitable Turner Foundation." (Gale Encyclopedia of Biography: Ted Turner emphasis mine)
So he's a filthy rich guy with 6 posh, luxury homes in six different states, five children and huge corporations calling for Americans to implement a one-child-per-family law. But he does NOT support mandatory abortions or sterilizations for unplanned pregnancies. Well, gee, Ted, how gracious of you.
However, "Mr. Turner – a long-time advocate of population control – said the environmental stress on the Earth requires radical solutions, [like the one child rule].... He added that fertility rights could be sold so that poor people could profit from their decision not to reproduce." (DemocraticUnderground.com)
Has there ever been a more hideous suggestion? And the sad thing is, because he has money, people will listen to him.
I guess it shouldn't surprise me, since Ted Turner is an avowed atheist and all-round pig. And all of this to reduce our carbon footprint. Yup. Global warming.
Wait til you read tomorrow's post....it gets worse. Much worse.
