”The entire population of the earth can fit in Texas with about 1,000 feet between each person. Just sayin”
Leave Texas out of this. We dont wantem....

Just another idiot with a distorted view of her own value to society. The little things she says and does loom largest in her own mind. She’s not alone though, because popular culture allows for the mediocre-at-best to feel larger than life and when it comes down to it, we’re not going to win any wars out there or right here at home unless basic training eventually includes regiments of deprogramming for the 21st century.

Overpopulation is a Myth!
Amazing how empty the place gets.
I am all for this, Kim Stanley Robinson.
You and your cohorts go first to set an example for the rest of us, and we will be right along after you.
