U.S.: A numerical breakdown of James J. Lee’s many demands
- 15 uses of the word “must” in Lee’s epic eco-manifesto
- 32uses of the word “human,” the target of his ire
- 14uses of the word “stop”; he’s very demanding in this thing
- two uses of the word “need”; they come at the end of the manifesto source
- » The brunt of his argument: Lee, who admits to being inspired by Daniel Quinn (whose bestseller “Ishmael” currently ranks number 317
on Amazon’s book listings) thinks that humans are causing many bad things in the world, and he wants them to stop their damage and destruction. So, he’s suggesting the network create a new game show that will encourage humans not to procreate. In general, he thinks that the world needs fewer humans, because they cause great damage to the planet. He’s a rare breed – he’s not pro-life or pro-choice. He’s anti-life. That’s rare.
