Show 880 tt Bomb :the population to CnJ't Mesmeed Birth Control Pills and I'm not going to give it up for any ridiculous research into rhythm. Recently I went to a 'Ban the Popuhtion Bomb' meeting held in The Wonders' of Science room at the Salt Lake public library We were told by Dr. Mutagene, an expert on rat population at the University of Utah Medical Building that if you don't have food you starve. "Either we starve or they starve," he said, "but if we starve they do toohowever, if they starve we don't need to starve, so we won't starve because I'd rather have them starve than us starve, because we're us and they're them." I came out of that meeting a converted 'ban the population bomb' expert with this premise-'there are too many people in the world-get rid of them before they get here, because once they are here they don't want to be gotten rid of even if they are starving! In conclusion, therefore: Ban the Population Bomb! Down with Popery and its antiquidated and anti-human policies of the Church toward sexuality! Long live Science and Enlightenment and my Research Lab and my all Encompassing Mind! by Alan F.

They say Pope Leo XIII way back in the mid 1800's (I guess that was some time in the Middle Ages before lasers and , genes) issued an encyclical Rerum novarum stating that the state had ' the responsibility to see to it that every man has the right to the comforts of a decent wage. Pope Paul, they say, wrote another encylical, Popularum progressio explicity stating that the rich nations must share their wealth technology and scientific acumen in order to evade a world wide social catastrophe! Critics called him 'Communist' and his encyclical 'the Catholic Manifesto' and they were right. Pacem in terris was an encyclical written by Pope John XXIII-he said that the arms race siphons off billions of dollars among the prosperous nations which could be used in research and initiation of enlightened programs to try to alleviate the misery of the poor. Well, we scientists and red-blooded American capitalists don't pay any attention to that nonsense. Its all part of the international Communist conspiracy! Some Catholics in this nation have complained that research on rhythm and other impossible archaic birth control devices non-offensive to Catholics have been subject to multi-million dollar lobbying interests of prophylactic and birth control pill concerns. So what? Good business is good business and I've got stock wm mm |
