Humorous take on the overpopulation problem. Most of the world has signed the International Population Agreement that requires a license to be allowed to have a child and are well on the way to become truly good societies. The U.S. is a holdout, and the story traces the trajectory that led to its adoption by the United States (the key change is “requiring candidate in the House or Senate to pass written and oral exams in basic logic, science, history, and ethics, as well as a test on the US Constitution” [76-77]) and what one has to do to get such a license.
