| Ecologist wants to snuff out 5.5 billion people |
| 2007-05-07 |
| Apparently, saving the whales is more important than saving 5.5 billion people. Paul Watson, founder and president of the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society and famous for militant intervention to stop whalers, now warns mankind is “acting like a virus” and is harming Mother Earth. Watson’s May 4 editorial asked the question “The Beginning of the End for Life as We Know it on Planet Earth?” Then he left no doubt about the answer. “We are killing our host the planet Earth,” he claimed and called for a population drop to less than 1 billion. The commentary reminded readers that Watson had called humans a disease before and he wasn’t sorry. “I was once severely criticized for describing human beings as being the ‘AIDS of the Earth.’ I make no apologies for that statement,” the column continued. Strangely enough, neither Watson nor nay of the people he hangs out with will be on that list of people who get to participate in the "population drop." |

| #14 #10: "it's ok, really, since he only has one, and they're the "right" kind of people, anyway" Yeah, SB - they're white. Bigoted self-centered assholes like him chap my ass. Hey, Pauly-boy - if you're so worried about overpopulation, KILL YOURSELF. And take your friends with you. |

| #12 Sea Shepherd Conservation Society sounds like the inspiration for the movie "12 Monkeys". |

| #11 Anyone who spews this sort of filth needs to come under the harshest sort of government scrutiny. These are exactly the sort of megalomaniacs that wouldn't flinch at unleashing a viral or germ weapon to achieve their ends. Take them in, clean their clocks, go over their personal finances with a fine tooth comb and keep them under surveillence until they flip out and do something that merits putting them in prison. This is nothing more than the left's equivalent of jihadist clerics who are always so eager to get someone else to die for the cause of Islam. |

| #10 He feels passionate about that. Really. That's why he himself has a child. (Oh, wait a minute....it's ok, really, since he only has one, and they're the "right" kind of people, anyway.....not like all those unthinking breeders out there, anyway.....nope, not him....no way.....besides, he knows better now, you betcha.) |

| #6 One of the best excuses for physician assisted suicide there Mr. Watson. Ever thought of moving to Oregon? |

| #5 They'll volunteer for depopulation right about the time Mookie volunteers to wear a suicide vest. |

| #4 The eco-extremists will be the ones depopulated, Spot - and by choice. I'm guessing that the bulk of the greenreds are not exactly reproducing at or above replacement level. It is their ideas that will disappear. Demographics are destiny. The Roe effect - so cruel, yet so inevitable...... |

| #3 If they were really committed to helping the planet, all the eco-wackos would volunteer to be "depopulated". |

| #2 I'm not sure I could find 5.5 billion I want to get rid of, but I could make a good start. My motivation is not 'saving the whales' though, but saving me and mine. |
