116. I don't want to "cull" anyone
But I'm not the one wailing about the EEEEEVILS of population growth, am I?

You're damn right eugenics is inevitably a part of this conversation. But you should be asking all the people who wail and gnash their teeth about population growth which groups THEY would like to cull. Clearly, Americans having too many babies isn't the problem - our birth rate is under the rate of replacement. So who, exactly, are they addressing their concerns about population growth to? Who needs to stop "breeding"? People can't complain about population growth without explaining who exactly is having so many babies - not without being hypocrites, anyway. So, why doesn't anyone ever ask the "zomg population growth is the biggest problem in the world" folks who they feel needs to be eliminated?
