Hitler?
What comparison it that?
He never thought of reducing the population, his plan was to change the race of worlds population.
Actually you could draw parallels to your argumentation - he thought Arians were superior to all other ethnics, your argument is that man is superior to anything "below" us.
My point is: We're not. We're nothing but super smart(at least that is what we think we are), Apes - animals.
This fact doesn't entitle us to value the disease like spreading of our species higher than the life of all the other creatures who have to vanish for it.

btw: You may want to provide sources for your Bill Gates quote

seriously if you think the world is overpopulated start locally...make a nuke in your garage and go to the capital city of your country...you can make the change that you want to see..

Great input, thx.
Isn't that basically what I had suggested at the beginning of this discourse?
