Hello there!

Steve_G:
"And therein lies the problem. You refuse to address the cause of the problem and instead only focus on a single symptom."

There are many problems and challenges out there; one can not effectively tackle them simultaneously - one has to begin somewhere, each way.
We, in this case, chose to try to contribute into a more responsible and balanced - with regards to Earth as an interconnected, interdependent whole - human ways of reproduction, for we view overpopulation as the CAUSE and the PROBLEM.
In this specific perspective, overpopulation is not a symptom; it is the very problem - i agree with contributor and good friend J_rod7.


"You should be concerned because they have the power, resources and technology to resolve this issue. You should be concerned because their actions and policies have led to the population explosion. Put simply, developed countries have stable populations. "

Good.
I could ask you, who and what are/is TPTB - it is such a vague concept; one could put ANYONE one disagrees with in this 'club', it seems! - but this would only be a diversion from the topic at hand.

Now, supposed i am 'concerned about the TPTB, because they have the power, resources and technology to resolve this issue.'
What would i achieve by that?
Which DIFFERENCE it would make?
What could i do against that? - organize a revolution, whereby precisely innocent fellow Humans would be killed? What would make me different from those you called TPTB, then?
They 'have the power, resources and technology to resolve this issue.' Maybe.
If so, why then not call for a release of those things and their application for the good of Mankind - in another organized movement, major petition(to bring about awareness of the issue among 'ordinary'fellow Humans), eventually ACTIVELY supporting the initiative of Dr. Greer, for instance?

And again, friend, we - as spiritual beings - are essentially sovereign; we should stop ALWAYS pointing the finger to others.
We have to be self responsible.
The accent lays here, in our approach, more on what WE OURSELVES can do to help ourselves and to ultimately save our planet - instead of what OTHERS MIGHT BE concealing or trying to hide from us.


"Put simply, developed countries have stable populations."

No point, provided one could add here 'relatively'.
BUT, developed countries are the biggest 'contributors' to the sorrow of Mother Earth - and they are aggressively exporting that very way of life to the rest of the world.


"Developing countries don't, and the reason the developing countries aren't developed already is because their advancement (and the advancement of humanity in general) has been deliberately sabotaged and supressed by TPTB for their own selfish gain."

Here i have to say, i do not know for sure; and any way, why not turn the tide the way we REALLY can?
Why not take our destiny in our own hands in this regard - reproduction and care for Mother Earth and the rest of our fellow inhabitants of Earth?


"You are actually petitioning (ie begging) the PTB! The very same people you claim you're not concerned about!

You are pleading with them to change the policies and strategies they have developed deliberately over a very, very long period of time for the express purpose of putting them in power and keeping them there! How can you NOT be concerned with their motivations? It blows my mind!"

No, sir!
We are not begging them; we are trying to gather enough support of our fellow Humans( through information and hopefully active awareness: petition) to have the issue of population, human reproduction and the sustainability and hence harmony on planet Earth, openly discussed and addressed in a Human, ethical and responsible way - an attempt to reverse those very' policies and strategies they have developed deliberately over a very, very long period of time for the express purpose of putting them in power and keeping them there!', if you wish.




Nice day to all,

RaKaR.
