P.J. O’Rourke deconstructed the liberal “over population” line years ago. They use Calcutta India, or Dacca Bangladesh as examples of too many people, but seem perfectly happy at crowded cocktail parties with other likeminded liberals, ergo they only want to limit the earth of people unlike themselves.
P.J. did a great job of destroying this argument but I can't help but think of that great bit by Sam Kinison:
Im like anyone else on this planet Im very moved by world hunger. I see the same commercials, with those little kids, starving, and very depressed. I watch those kids and I go, Fk, I know the FILM crew could give this kid a sandwich! Theres a director five feet away going, DONT FEED HIM YET! GET THAT SANDWICH OUTTA HERE! IT DOESNT WORK UNLESS HE LOOKS HUNGRY!!! But Im not trying to make fun of world hunger. Matter of fact, I think I have the answer. You want to stop world hunger? Stop sending these people food. Dont send these people another bite, folks. You want to send them something, you want to help? Send them U-Hauls. Send them U-Hauls, some luggage, send them a guy out there who says, Hey, we been driving out here every day with your food, for, like, the last thirty or forty years, and we were driving out here today across the desert, and it occurred to us that there wouldnt BE world hunger, if you people would LIVE WHERE THE FOOD IS! YOU LIVE IN A DESERT! YOU LIVE IN A FKING DESERT! NOTHING GROWS OUT HERE! NOTHINGS GONNA GROW OUT HERE! YOU SEE THIS? HUH? THIS IS SAND. KNOW WHAT ITS GONNA BE A HUNDRED YEARS FROM NOW? ITS GONNA BE SAND! YOU LIVE IN A FKING DESERT! GET YOUR STUFF, GET YOUR SHIT, WELL MAKE ONE TRIP, WELL TAKE YOU TO WHERE THE FOOD IS! WE HAVE DESERTS IN AMERICA WE JUST DONT LIVE IN THEM, AHOLES!
