Overpopulation
http://www.populationconnection.org/
This is the umbrella over all the world's problems. Did you know approximately 50 percent of all pregnancies are UNplanned? As the bumpersticker goes, "A world of wanted children would make a world of difference." In Al Gore's movie An Inconvenient Truth he states that families with more than two children (including his family since he has four children) are part of the problem. It took until the year 1800 for the world's population to reach one billion. It is almost seven billion only 200 years later!

Destroy Your Porn Collection
http://oneangrygirl.net
I wrote to the gal in charge of this site. She sent me a bunch of "Destroy your porn collection" mini bumper stickers, and I stick them wherever I can. I've also removed a video from someone's house and a ripped up a magazine in another person's house. Extreme? If change is to occur, we must do the unthinkable.

Alternatives to Marriage Project
www.unmarried.org
Have you ever thought about how marriage is an unnatural state!? Are you fearful of divorce...or already divorced? As you know, first marriages have a 50 percent divorce rate. Did you know second marriages have a 67 percent divorce rate?! And just because people don't divorce doesn't mean their marriage is happy. Some experts estimate only 5 percent of marriages are truly happy. It's time to change what doesn't work for most people. Let's follow Larry Mullen, Jr. http://www.unmarried.org/people.html
The Name Change Game
http://weddings.about.com/od/getorganized/a/shouldchangenam.htm
If you insist on marrying, there are alternatives in changing your name (or not) and naming your children. Did you know in the first 4,500 years of human history people went by first names only? No offense to individual men, but think of how powerful men feel collectively because their spouse and children take their last name...and how that might lead to men abusing power in general. (Also, go by Ms., not Miss or Mrs., just as men only go by Mr. There should be no indicator that you're married while there's no indicator that he is. Remember...Ms. is not just for widows and divorced women!)
