As with everyone else who wants to reduce the population, I say to you "you first".
World population and consumption rate is well beyond the sustainable threshold. Population reduction is going to happen anyway, the soft or the hard way.
You can have a much higher standard of living today with one person working than you could in the 60s!
In theory, if you look at the average household income. If you look at the actual wealth distribution patterns and if you keep in mind what today is needed to be employable (in terms of education and specialization) compared with what was required 50 years ago, you find out that a lot of people today are hopelessly unemployable and basically incapable of caring for their family.
The end of mindless menial labor is a good thing.
Much more that "mindless menial labor" went down the sinkhole, and too little sprung up to replace it. A large number of the population is hoplelessly unemployable, and the trend is towards a further reduction in human performed work being available. This, while a shinking minority of the population is gobbling down an ever increasing proportion of the wealth produced and productivity keeps running up: http://www.hire-intelligence.c...
How does reducing the population help? Then you'll simply have fewer people to buy and sell goods.
People who are out of job are bad buyers anyway.
Why can't we do that now, instead of reducing the population like you said a few sentences back? People work more because they want more, they see that shiny new Iphone as a necessity rather than a privilege.
What planet are you from, chap? Being unemployed is not a choice for most people (actually, for everyone except very few ascetic-minded ones). And a lot of people would rather spend more time leisuring around that having to work longer hours/working weeks to make ends meet.
This is Propane!
Now if we add this to cows and pigs, we will have to fire proof all the farms.
Indeed we do! http://timesofindia.indiatimes... "LONDON: A farm shed in Rasdorf, Germany, burst into flames after a heard of 90 cows produced enough combustible methane gas from just their farts. According to the local police, a static electric charge caused the gas to explode with flashes of flames, the Daily Star reported. Even though one cow can emit up to 500 litres of methane every day, fortunately, explosions due to cow flatulence is not frequent."

Put then where you like, but forget *using* them wherever you want or wherever you might need them: http://techrights.org/2014/08/... 08.02.14 Microsoft Continues to Further Distort OOXML in Order to Make it Less Compatible With Non-Microsoft Software
The Tao is like a stack: the data changes but not the structure. the more you use it, the deeper it becomes; the more you talk of it, the less you understand.
