272,000 less poor (for the most part) people.

The U.N. population control freaks must be ecstatic.

I think they would be more ecstatic if it were 272,000 less rich people.

No doubt. Frees up a lot of condoms they can now distribute to other nonwhite countries, like in Africa.

I am taking a geography course right now, and it is pretty interesting that actually, world population will soon begin DROPPING based on the drop in the number of babies in the West and China....plus AIDS in Africa.

So much for overpopulating the Earth.

Well now, that's an interesting point that you raise. Perhaps the liberals who are in favor of population control and euthanasia are being hypocritical. Are these people in Indonesia, those who are elderly and infirm, worthy of the money and time it will take to salvage their lives?
