Those who use the line about breaking eggs for omelets fail to realize that they, too, are eggs.

Running the numbers I’ve concluded the “sustainable” limit is about 33 billion people. That’s using current agriculture-to-population ratio applied to all arable land; everyone gets a plot big enough to grow what food they need, plus a little living space. That’s also assuming fairly low-tech agriculture; as high- and future-tech farming is considered, the sustainable limit rises by a lot.

I was just answering that facetious comment from someone else. However, for that matter, we have not necessarily seen every species of animal on earth...........

When everything old is new again.

Pretty much. Leftist elitists even still cling to the idea of being like Plato's philosopher-kings, ~2,500 years later.

Many of us think Ted Turner was behind this. If you’ve never looked into them, it’s pretty creepy, the kind of stuff that turns people into Alex Jones believers.

They had a giant condom at UMKC this weekend passing out free condoms trying to push their “family planning” and encouraging women to stay below the 2.4(can’t remember the exact number) reproductive rate. I wanted to haul my family out there and scandalize them but we had better family things to do.

Hahaha!!! That would have been funny.

I put a Ronald Reagan shirt on my toddler once & took her to Whole Foods (before I knew they support PP). It was a good time!
