Yeah I dunno, BTW im not saying our governments would start murdering us out of pleassure, I dont think they would take any pleasure in doing it, rather they would merely do it out of neccesity if it came to the crunch.
IMO our democratically elected left/right governments are all about perception, they like to appear to be doing right by the people for the sake of popularity and ballots, but in reality people are relatively despensible to them, being in government isnt about being nice, its about appearing to be nice.
The truth is they do what they can in order to drag us along with what ever they need or want to do.

In the case of population control, what other option do they have?
Passing chinese style legislation that tells people they cant have kids or can only have x amount, would go down like a lead balloon with the 'free' people of the west - with human rights activists shouting from the roof tops, it would be very difficult to pass such a legistlation and it would be logistically impossible to enforce.
Oh and the particular government in office would probably not ever get re-elected again.
Instigating a war would much much easier for them, Im not saying I think they would do it for the sole purpose of bumping some of us off, but it would be mighty convienient, thats all.

Its a cruel dog eat dog world i guess.
