In politics, you often come across some crazy ideas. I remember a guy being arrested in Manchester a few years ago as he campaigned for the "Campaign for Non-Sexual Public Nudity". Essentially, it said you should be able to walk around nude. You can probably guesss what the campaigner got arrested for (he then got charged for contempt of court when he showed up at court, you guessed it, naked).
I think I may have found an organisation which tops them. The Movement for Voluntary Human Extinction says that we should not have kids, and wait for everyone on earth to die off. That is the only way to save the planet. I kept wondering if this was a sick wind up. I searched the website, and kept waiting for the momement the punch line was delivered. Kind of like the moment where Jeremy Beadle used to appear on "Beadle's About", and give the game away that this was all some horrible wind up. Alas, it looks like the VHEM is real.
I think finding a group which tops this for wild ideas may take some doing.
