Well, my point is that you're horribly wrong blaming it on them, I
guess. It's rather the well adapted people of the present day human
society who are to blame. The people at the top, not at the bottom.
This should be quite evident to all, since "the practicing alcoholics
and addicts" don't have any influence in politics.
In other words your solution is just more of the same. It won't lead
to more birds, fish, coral reefs and rain forest, but merely continue
the tailspin suicide run. Your thoughts are very prevalent today. In
fact I would say they are dominant: The notion that some people, some
species are more worth than others. The segregated hierarchy of your
dreams are already being enforced.
If we should start somewhere, "solving" the population problem we
should start at the top, going after the people and type of people
responsible for the world's current horrible condition.
