Do you want to know the real problem? Well it's kind of scary. [View All]

There are far too many people on planet Earth. Water, food, air, living space – they’re all limited. And there is only so much room into which we can dump waste before we poison every living organism on the planet. (Yeah, that includes us.)

This might be considered an environmental posting. However, it’s also a political and a life or death posting that is trying to tell you that those who rule this planet are virtually brain dead. (And no, I’m not talking about Bush, Cheney, China, Russia, OPEC, Al Qaeda, “The International Jewish Conspiracy,” The Tri-Lateral Commission, The Knights of the Templar, The IMF, ET, Opus Dei, or even Indiana Jones and his father.) I’m talking about us.

Try to get your head out of your pet theory long enough to grasp the fact that no individual, group of individuals, or even the Klingon Empire, are actually running things here (as much as some think they might be).

The haunting, virtually intractable problem, is that of overpopulation. There are just so many resources to go around and we are using them up far, far, faster than they can be replenished. Like it or not, it’s a fact. And if you want proof, I won’t give you a list of books to read. I will just ask you to look at the planet, take note, realize that the lifeboat is overflowing, and try to be a sane, rational human being.

So take your pick. Limits on population, the “Soylent Green” scenario, an even more extreme variation of "The Final Solution," or total extinction. Sure, life on planet Earth may last your lifetime. But what about the lives of your children. And your children’s children?

Anyhow, I’m just asking the questions. The answers are up to you.
