Hello there!

Steve_G,
Although you have decided to leave this podium(unfortunately!), i address you with the following:

I understand your concerns about what you call the PTB.
There are certainly people and groups of people out there, whose 'interests' do not match with the well-being of the majority of Mankind. Definitely.
And one can, we dare suggest, count religions(Christianity, Islam...) and religeous ideologies among what one calls the PTB.

Are they as powerful as you seem to suggest? - Maybe, i say.
Are we, 'ordinary' people, as defenceless as one might suppose? - certainly not!

We are convinced, that this petition and the idea behind it, could potentially break the power of at least one component of the so-called PTB, namely religions and their ideologies.
Religions press us indeed to 'multiply'(example: “multiply yourself”;
Genesis 1:22:
God blessed them and said, “Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the water in the seas, and let the birds increase on the earth.”).

And indeed, Steve_G and other companions, how would we evolve, advance spiritually, acknowledge our oneness as Mankind, ascend, if you wish, if we keep multiplying and, consequently, remaining in this massive vegetative state, in a situation of daily physical survivor? If we see our fellow Human in the first place as an obstacle, as someone else pretending to the same food, clean water and other essential commodities?

You advocate to address the PTB, as the roots of the problem and you argue, that calling for awareness against overpopulation and promoting a world wide democratic birth control through petition, as means of information, is not enough. Fair enough.

Please, friend, come up with an idea(within the democratic rules, thus lawful and pacific) to more effectively address the PTB, and i will be one of your first supporters - and i will do my very best to assist you.


Namaste.
