[MarkL]

There are so many of these people out there, spouting off about how great it would be if there were far fewer people on the planet (some of them go on about how wonderful the earth would be if there were NO human beings on the planet.)

Just once, I wish these "do-gooders" would set a good example and off themselves, but NO! It's always somebody else who needs to be eliminated.

There are so many of these people out there, spouting off about how great it would be if there were far fewer people on the planet (some of them go on about how wonderful the earth would be if there were NO human beings on the planet.)

The problem is not too many people. The problem is there are too many unskilled illiterates who do not produce enough value to be able to feed themselves, and the Western middle class is running out of ability and willingness to subsidize the global underclass.

If the people of Somalia were able to crank out good software, hardware chips, textiles, or whatever, then they would have no problems with feeding themselves.

The global crisis that we are starting to see, is that there are an increasing number of people who do not know how to produce anything that will pay for their food and shelter.
