I just finished A World Without Us. The book examines how our world would return if all of mankind were to leave by rapture, aliens or roadtrip. Either way, it is a fascinating and preachy book. It tells how NYC would flood from the subway pumps being neglected, your house would erode (see the video from the website) and how the DMZ on the 38th is a refuge from endangered animals. Good read and thought provoking. If anything, fun things to ponder and discuss with rational adults.
One of the fringe groups it does mention is the The Voluntary Human Extinction Movement with the slogan:
"May we live long and die out"
I had to mention this group for the comedic value. In a nutshell, the nutjobs want us to stop reproducing, allow our race to die out and let Mother Earth reclaim the Earth. The website is slick and funny. But, if you choose to visit the site, which I recommend to see how the other side thinks, bring your humor and common sense. It reeks of that condescending air you find in alleged intellectuals and academics without a real job.
One thing struck me, the author of The World Without Us, claimed to have talked to the author Les Knight. The name of the sites author is Les U. Knight. Could this be a brilliant joke played on the envirmental treehuggers and their massive egos led by the High Priest Al Gore? Or someone afraid to give their real name?
And from Drudge comes this gem today ...
Meet the women who won't have babies - because they're not eco friendly
Had Toni Vernelli gone ahead with her pregnancy ten years ago, she would know at first hand what it is like to cradle her own baby, to have a pair of innocent eyes gazing up at her with unconditional love, to feel a little hand slipping into hers - and a voice calling her Mummy.
But the very thought makes her shudder with horror.
Because when Toni terminated her pregnancy, she did so in the firm belief she was helping to save the planet.
And you have done your part young lady by preventing your and your selfish husband from procreating. Thank you for doing your part.
Okay folks, that's one lineage of lunatics out of the genetic pool. Darwin has proven his point again.

We'll let them be the first to stop reproducing and see if it helps, lol.
We're all going to be extinct at some point. The arrogance of humans thinking that we won't also go the way of the "doo-doo" bird. As they keep saying on the History Channel's "Mega Disasters" program, it isn't if . . . but when.
Great post!
Hey, I watched that graphic and I am impressed at how sturdy they think my house is! LOL!
By the way, great likeness of Senator Reid . . . but I thought he was a bit uglier.
I thought he needed to shave. But maybe the beard will give him that Castro look for his venture to South America
ah yes..great post Obob..keep eatin those leftovers..grinz
hopefully, they will ALL sterilize themselves...right into extinction!
The way the Liberals are going with all those abortions, they are aborting themselves into extinction anyway.
Thanks for the heads-up on the book there, obob. I'm a sucker for stuff like that,... except every time I jump on a good book I get the ring around my deriere from sitting down too long....
