But there is a whole solar system out there up for grabs! The
idea that we must limit our growth to our environment would have
left us up in the trees -- man is man (woman) because he moves
into hostile environments and makes use of the resources in them
to live. There is an abundance of energy and raw materials available
starting 200 miles above our heads -- I cannot agree with any argument
that starts out with such a false premise about "limited resources".

One more thing: if individuals do not enjoy the society in which they
live, what good is it to them if that society survives? I do not consider
myself to be a 'libertarian' in that I am not a member of the Canadian
Libertarian party, but I agree with the philosophy that personal responsibility
and happiness is more important than social control and stability.
