Saying that 300 million is too high of a population for America is an arbitrary judgement.

The earth can easily sustain many more than the current 6.7 billion.

‘Peak oil’ and other myths are just that, myths.

Ever been to China or Japan? I have and it sucks. I'd hate to live in the crowded conditions they live in. There isn't hardly anywhere you can go and get off by yourself. It's a miserable existence.

You can have it. I like having open spaces with forests and wildlife in abundance. I don't want to see our wild lands overrun and despoiled. Maybe you like that existence but most American despise it. Go spend some time in Tokyo and see what it's like. Then come back and tell me that the earth can sustain many more that the current population.

Have you been to a seafood market lately. The price of fish is INSANE. This is because the Nations are overfishing trying to satisfy the worldwide demand for protein. As a kid fish was cheap or at least reasonable. Now it's outrageous. So where is the food or clean water going to come from to support all these millions more that you look forward to? How are you going to house them? What about Clean Water? I don't think you have given this much thought. You must be reading some of the neoconservative literature from a crackpot like Ben Wattenburg or one of his followers.

I agree.

These yahoos from the seventies made such wildly inaccurate predictions regarding the state of today's food and water supplies that they could easily now get jobs with the IPCC - and perhaps have already done so for all I know.
