Neither of these will be found by a Google search, but if you know what schools she attended, you could search the library catalogue. Batchelor's theses are not usually entered into a library catalogue, and master's theses are often removed from circulation if someone thinks they might be embarrassing.<br /><br />Talk about forcible depopulation and the imposition of socialist dictatorship was very common in the 60s and 70s, and I can remember participating in at least one. That was the heyday of Ehrlich, Commoner and Hardin and all sorts of nonsense was readily believed by foolish graduate students like me. China's one child policy comes from that era.<br /><br />Nowadays, most socialists are quiet about such things, but environmentalists are not. The enduring dream of the extremist environmentalists is to reduce the human population to a few millions paleolithic foragers: no agriculture, metals, literacy, medicine, technology, etc.<br /><br />It would be interesting to interrogate Obama's senior staff to see if they still hold to the lunacies of their youth.sykes.1https://www.blogger.com/profile/10954672321945289871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8515829.post-60464886535986293962011-05-10T19:37:30.008-07:002011-05-10T19:37:30.008-07:00The problem these lovely people have is that they ...The problem these lovely people have is that they ALWAYS assume they will be among the spared...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8515829.post-47764311237033556522011-05-10T19:06:08.897-07:002011-05-10T19:06:08.897-07:00I can't find a single source for this other th...I can't find a single source for this other than what you quote. The term "<a href="http://www.uspacifistparty.org/equation.html" rel="nofollow">Apocalypse Equation</a>" refers to some shitwit brainless pacifist idea that the probability of any given nuclear weapon being used in war during any given year is a constant, so the more nukes there are in existence -- and the longer they exist -- the more probable a nuclear war becomes. They actually draw a graph of this, as if any of it were quantifiable. Cargo cult "science" at its best. Also, you may have noticed they've got some creative notions about probability. And about how nuclear weapons get launched: We don't have a guy in each silo flipping a coin all day, and he's got instructions that if it comes up heads thirty-two times straight he's supposed to launch the missile. <br /><br />The idea hardly explains the fact that of the first three nuclear devices that ever existed, two were used in war immediately, and none have been used since. Well, that's the kind of stupid it takes to be a pacifist. <br /><br />OK, rant off. Maybe Tomason wrote a paper that touched on that idea, or was named for it. But the only trace of any such thing that I can find is the one claim that you quoted, always in those exact words. Nothing else. <br /><br />I'm betting "hoax". The concentration-camp/genocide thing was squarely in the left-wing mainstream back in the 1970s Weathermen days, but not so much now. This chick is supposed to be 34. <br /><br />If I'm wrong, and it's possible I am, I'll stop by to eat crow and apologize.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
