This does sound rather sad. I'd kill myself, but then I'd just be another statistic.
Actually, either way I'll be a statistic.
If the so-called have-nots are starving to death, soon there will be no more have-nots. My view is, there are no have-nots in the first place; there are those who have more, and those who have less. Either way, the idea that somehow the numerous (that is, 12 to 15 per cent of the world's population) have-nots are going to rise up and slay the much more numerous, much better armed haves, is a gigantic lie attached to the various political and economic agendas of the liars who repeat it.just a BTTT with some emphasis.
just pimpin' my vanity topic. I predict I won't do it again in 2005. ;')

One century from now, Hillary Rodham Clinton will be dead, and historians will wonder what all the fuss was.
The population of the Earth was about one billion in 1900, and that number shocked and sickened the folks who had tried to turn the entire planet into EuroDisney. We hit the three billion mark about the time I started seventh grade. Sometime in the past ten or so years we've crossed (variously reported) six or possibly seven billion.
IMHO, the population of the US will rise to at least 1.5 billion, and as much as 3 billion, by 2100 A.D. China's population will decline to about 300 million by that time. India's population will peak in about thirty years, and then begin to decline, while the Moslem population of India rises as a percentage. The population of the Middle East will rise somewhat, but with most of the increase being in Egypt, Turkey, and Iran.
Western Europe's European population will decline, in some places vanish, replaced by African and Middle Eastern immigrants, except in Italy. Even at current rates, and figuring for longevity and attrition, by 2100 Germany's population will exceed Russia's.
