Life Imitates The Third IV
December 6th, 2010 | 3 comments
Back in 2008 when I first sent copies of The Third around to some writer friends to review, several of them greeted the concept of forced population control for the sake of the planet with skepticism.
So I’d like to thank Ted Turner, father of five children, for not only doubling down on the plot of The Third but backing up my idea of reselling population credits.
Climate change and population control can make for a politically explosive mix, as media mogul Ted Turner demonstrated Sunday when he urged world leaders to institute a global one-child policy to save the Earth’s environment. …
Mr. Turner – a long-time advocate of population control – said the environmental stress on the Earth requires radical solutions, suggesting countries should follow China’s lead in instituting a one-child policy to reduce global population over time. He added that fertility rights could be sold so that poor people could profit from their decision not to reproduce.
Still think it’s just about clean air and water?

Okay, seriously, so does he think *he* should have to ‘buy’ population credits for the extra kids he already has? Sorry, not only is it hypocritical of him, but a super creepy idea.
@Heather — Just wait until you read The Third. It takes the creepy idea to a whole new level!
I’m upset at Ted for proving you write. ~sulks~
