No! I've told you a million times that exaggeration,
even for the
purposes of humor, is the worst thing that anyone's
ever done, and
it's likely to lead to the end of industrial
civilization! Maybe
even of life as we know it!

And that's a bad thing?

Incidentally, you are always pointing out how governments are evil,
whereas to me, governments are just people, so we shouldn't get rid
of the governments, we should get rid of the people. All of them.

Turns out that there is a political group with just this aim, I read in
the paper the other week. Can't remember the group's name, but
their policy was to persuade all people to stop having children. (And
as I've never fathered a child, and probably never will, I wonder if I'd
get a discount on membership if I wanted to join.)
