Malthusian garbage recycled by Paul Ehrlich's doom-mongering acolytes. The same people who warn us we'd destroy the planet with our advanced technological civilization - the same one that has eliminated famine, disease and made life easier, pleasant and far more happy than it used to be in olden times. That's what the Left is upset about and it fears there will be more pie for people to share. The liberal notion about shrinking resources is just dead plain wrong!

These professional Cassandras just can't be happy without scolding the rest of us for our sins. They have a great deal in common with fundamentalist religious wackos. It's all about the moral preening and patting oneself on the back.

It's pretty preposterous to think that anyone would take seriously even one word out of the mouth of the likes of Paul Erlich. I cannot think of another public figure whose predictions have been so uniformly and spectacularly wrong.

See my post #19. Do you dispute the past census figures or the fact that we have added 20 million people since the 2000 census?

Right now our population is 301,339,904. We have one international migrant (net) every 27 seconds and a Net gain of one person every 12 seconds.

I am not against population increases, but the question is how much in what timeframe? Since 1990 we have added almost 53 million people.
