#18  My guess about this group: "Les" started it as an elaborate joke, something like Bonsai Kitten, but found that many far-gone eco-wackies were taking it seriously. There was therefore money to be made, and horny hippy chicks other benefits of activist status to be had, so he stayed with it.

#17  Proof positive again:

The only good movement is a bowel movement.

#15  Since the Voluntary Human Extinction Movement isn't alive with a brain or a mouth, it can't take positions or have opinions.

So...ummmmmmmmmmmmmm... what's your point?

#13  Yes, eLarson, you are missing it. The copyright is held by Les U. Knight. Not National Lampoon, but close enough.

#12  I couldn't find the National Lampoon disclaimer. I looked all over the site... am I missing it?

Voluntary Human Extinction Movement
What, the Shakers are back in town?

It worked for them - they've been extinct for a long time.

#4 A6079 - Great idea! Any thoughts on how we can implement it?

#7  Does the VHEM movement have the Dimmhicratic Party mailing list? Perhaps an endorsement from Al Gore would help. Perhaps Les U. Knight could be Hillary's running mate in '08.

#5  The VHEMT is the uiltimate eco-panic. It also is doomed to failure; it was divinely promised that there will be a humanity during the Tribulation.

"As an important sidebar, I need to mention how that loud whirring sound all of you hear in the background is Ayn Rand twirling at relativistic speeds in her grave."

Actually, Some of that is Adam and Eve you hear rolling at lightspeed in their graves. Also Noah, in whose day we were an endangered species.

#4  Translate to Arabic, add plenty of pseudo-pithy Quranic phrasings regards Mohammed condemning believers to the fires in myriad lurid ways if they procreate and disseminate widely, as a fatwa.

#2  This reminds me very little of the old aphorism:

"Celibacy is not hereditary."

Fortunately, unless the Voluntary Human Extinction Movement seeks broader and compulsary application of its doctrine to others, it is certain to die out in a rather short time. On a closing note I'd also like to add; GOOD RIDDANCE.

#1  We here at Manchurian Corporation applaud this effort to reduce the number of red-diaper doper babies who will be available to fill the protest lines of the future.
This will allow our corporate successors to achieve our long-cherished goals of paving the Amazon rain-forest, exploiting the starving people of the third world, and strip-mining the Moon; without further hindrance from the spiritual descendants of the ironically named baby boom generation.

Thank you
