One is the loneliest number
Word around the campfire is that there are talks at the Copenhagen Summit to limit the number of children people are allowed to have to just one. Globally. The hope is that this will stop the damage we as a race are doing to this planet. It’s a nice thought I guess but really is that the answer?
