But, apparently, what you you really have a problem with is that I used a bit of colorful prose and said Sowell is "lusting" for a military coup. I think it's a relatively appropriate characterization, but I can tone it down a bit. Let's instead say that "Sowell wants a military coup to cleanse perceived moral depravity".

Latefordinner believes humanity can only be saved by a catastrophic reduction in population size. That doesn't mean he wants or lusts for catastrophe. It also doesn't mean 50 years ago (when in his opinion such a thing was not necessary, but if present trends continue it might be someday) that he "wants a global human life catastrophe to save us from environmental exploitation".

I won't be trapped into defending Sowell's statement itself as I don't agree with it, but I still think you're misrepresenting it, probably intentionally. This thread is pretty low, I would have expected better from you, this is cardcounter territory imo.
