Oh, I should *stop* saying that should I... I must have been saying that alot. Refresh my memory though, point out one single place where I said that, so I can finally stop saying it.
The gameplan has to be sustainable growth. In forestry, you chop one tree you are required by law to plant two more, this enables living in harmony.
If you went back a couple of hundred years, the idea that hundreds of people could "fly" across vast distances, this idea would seem ridiculous. Human flight was considered a ridiculous dream. Then, in the past century, man's dream of going out into space was considered ridiculous, science said people simply can't breathe up there so it's not possible. Goddard was ridiculed and his career was put on jeapardy when he wrote about his dream of man going into space, TIME magazine said this "scientist" didn't know the basics of science which said that rockets can't work in space due to the lack of oxygen. When rockets did indeed work, TIME published an apology after this guy's death.
So in my opinion, mankind will probably spread it's legs and inhabitate other places, it's a very big universe and we're stuck in a very little pond. This would very likely be scientifically possible within this century, in 1900s manned flight was in it's infancy. In 2000s, space-flight(especially inter-planetary space-flight) is in it's infancy with the Mars rovers and other projects. Logically, the Moon and Mars(and possibly Phobos and Mar's moons) would be mankind's first steps. Stephen Hawking, a very widely respected scientist, also believes mankind's future is in colonizing other planets. Even fighter aircraft have oxygen-generation systems, we can already build this stuff.
Like many things that come from the west, their population control agenda seems very hollow and hypocritical, given that they apply different rules to others, and different ones to themselves. They talk about a shortage of resources, and still continue to consume much MUCH more than the majority of the world. Their oil companies drill like there's no tommorrow, they even invade poorer countries like Iraq and Libya to satisfy their needs. They are not rich because of a smaller population, I have repeatedly told you their smaller population is consuming more than most other countries' larger population. If people are "ashamed" of 5 kids, they should also be "ashamed" of the high divorce rates with most marriages broken, children's lives shattered. The multiple short-lived marriages are also shameful as a society.
