WASHINGTON -- Thirty-three years after he founded Earth Day, Gaylord Nelson is trying to shake things up again. This time, the 86-year-old former Wisconsin governor and U.S. senator is trying to generate public concern about the expected increase in U.S. population from the current 291 million to 500 million sometime later in this century.

I thought that girlfriend-murdering peacenik Ira Einhorn was the "Earth Day Founder".

That's what I thought too.

Let's start by stopping illegal immigration and severely limiting legal immigration.

Ira Einhorn co-founded Earth Day. Once they found out what kind of person he was, they did what amounts to Stalinist purge and disavowed that he ever was even associated with Earth day. Unfortunatley for those Greenie teachers who loved to shove lib manure into kid's heads, some of us remember Einhorn's part in Earth day.

Speaking of PETA, check out this latest bit of lunacy. Seems they want the town of Hamburg, NY (Buffalo suburb) to change it's name to Veggieburg. I am not kidding.

That is the best way of controlling our overpopulation along with deporting all the illegals. In some European countries where the birth rate is not high, they are admitting immigrants who, by coincidence or not, tend to be anti-Semitic.

I am truly saddened when I see our historic places destroyed. We had friends who owned a beautiful old Victorian house which they were forced to sell. They hired a lawyer but lost. In its place was built a parking lot.

There sure are too many people.

e dietro le venìa sì lunga tratta
di gente, ch'i' non averei creduto
che morte tanta n'avesse disfatta.

"Earth Day" was foisted on us on the 100th nniversary of Lenin's birth.

Why is our population going to reach 500 million in the near future!!? Mr. Gaylord doesn't mention one of the primary reasons. Oh, sure, he'll talk about "cutting" our population to 132 million - but how's he going to do that? Forced sterilization? Forced abortion? Euthanasia? Genocide? Meanwhile, the primary cause of our population growth will go unchecked and America will cease to be.

I'm talking about unfettered immigration and illegal immigration. Check the numbers for yourself.

Note: This graphic does not include the growth caused by illegal immigration.

ATTENTION: POPE-BASHERS!!!!

The REAL senility case is Gaylord Nelson--a singularly uninformed has-been politico with outdated statistics and pure 1960's causes.

I suppose that J. Kevorkian and J. Malvo should be employed as civil servants

Secretaries of HHS and Homeland Security???

As so many people are moving out to the burbs, it's getting very quiet in the cities. Not crowded at all.

[RightWhale]

It's the same here. More cabins, more renters, more houses, more vehicles, louder vehicles, more stores, faster traffic, population has quadrupled, yet the locals still whine about the lack of economic opportunity. What's wrong with this picture?

[BureaucratusMaximus]

It only makes sense that we should limit our population.

O.K. You first. Any money you'll be leaving behind I'll gladly accept. I'll send you my mailing address over Freepmail.
