It probably isn't the case with Mr. Overby, but I have an impression that
many environmentalists just don't like people en mass. They don't like
cities and they don't like crowds and they just wish that most of us
would go away. I think this bias clouds their thinking on population
matters (and on urban planning matters and other social issues). (Of
course I have my own bias in favour of people. But I hope that doesn't
mean I am totally against a proper stewardship of the Earth.)
