Keith this notion is true but carries a cruel irony.  There are religious
and sociological memesets active in humanity which actively resist the
notion of birth control.  Indeed we may be seeing the embrace of
technological birth enhancement, such as the much publicized octo-mom.  If a
subset of humanity embrace birth control, the anti-birth-control memes will
soon inherit the earth.  If this isn't clear in our modern world, it very
soon will be.

Oy vey, agreed.  {8-[  Humanity will not embrace birth control.  Some will,
but it doesn't matter, for our genes are doomed.
