Just a comment: "The world population really should go back to around one billion", etc. And how could we achieve that without severe govt. oppression, one wonders?
Quite simple. End all food and medical aid to developing countries paid for with money stolen at gunpoint from our citizens. Or make Norplant implants the condition for financial/in kind aid. Both US and abroad.
Why stop there? Make biometric ID implants the condition for welfare and financial aid, so we can track them in case they spend it on (gasp!) donations to the Libertarian party. Government scholarships for education and research? Better wiretap their phones & emails, in case the recipients use the scholarships to work on strong non-GAKed cryptography. Hell, folks are also taking advantage of government money every time they step foot on a park or government road: might as well require citizen-units to escrow their identity and confiscate their guns as a condition of usage. ``Buckle your thought-escrow-unit, it's the law!''
