A Population Reduction Proposal

by Rob Ord

2006

The author proposes that the democratic institution of laws promoting one-child families for 100 years is the only non-violent and fair solution to the economic and ecological problems now squarely facing us.

The book ends by assessing the justification for instituting and changing current 'population law', both nationally and internationally.

Excellence is destroyed in the initial stages of what is called "single payer" health care. The destruction of competence follows the destruction of excellence. Medicine was practiced. Medicine was a lifelong learning experience. Medicine was integrated. That was only yesterday. The present bureaucratized, fragmented and disi...

This study, therefore, explores the relationship between organizational trust and job satisfaction in seven selected small, medi...
