Womb Population:
“some kind of gas into our lungs to purify our own blood. We are going to have to make ourselves into giants 15 times our present size. Worst of all, we are going to have to learn to lie about everything. It’s going to be a lot of work, very dangerous, and very discouraging.” Answer: ‘Why don’t we strike?? We are in an excellent posture for a “sit-down.”’ Other: ‘Wow! What an idea. We will have the whole population of worldaround wombland refuse to go out at graduation day. Our cosmic population will enter more and more human women’s wombs, each refusing to graduate at nine months. More and more Earthian wome will get more and more burdened. Worldaround consternation-- agony. We will notify the outsiders that, until they stop lying to themselves and to each other and give up their stupid sovereignties and exclusive holier-than-thou ideologies, pollutions, and mayhem, we are going to refuse to come out. Only surgery fatal to both the mothers and ourselves could evacuate us.’
“Another: 'Great! We had might as well do it. If we do come out we will be faced with the proliferation of Cold War’s guerrilleralized killing of babies for psycho-shock demoraliz-ation of world around innocent communities inadvertently”
