you know all the pple stating that "one-child-a-family" is barbaric? I laugh at them and say "ye you prob prefer war and nukes, or a natural-planet phenomenon instead *wink"
the one child is "not good" but it beats all the other options by far.

I like your level of thinking, but there are some other factors that should be considered. If we limited all couples in the world to a one child policy we would have to make some other serious changes to the structures of society.
There are serious drawbacks and socialization issues that come from being an only child. I have always been partial to Plato's model of all children being raised together by the community and no one knowing who their specific biological parents were. This ensures adaquate care for ALL children and being raised in large numbers ensures proper socialization...ie alturistic vs hedonistic traits are well balanced.
To put it bluntly my friend, though good for the planet, I have never met an only child that did not have some serious issues to work out as a result of it and I'm sure many here would agree with me (including only children).
