(snipped) You know it and I know it, but it will probably never happen. Average people will just try to block any progress in this genetic engineering experiment (voluntary of course). big sigh Bill Baka # Waste of effort anyway. The Africans are multiplying like the plague through white people feeding them and treating their diseases. Yeah, tell me about it. We have been sending food for those starving children for about 40 years now and they grow up and make still more starving children. Some of the adults who once were starving children just grow up to be militants toting AK-47's and grenade launchers. If we didn't have so many bleeding hearts in this country nature could just take it's course. It is a lose, lose, lose even worse situation. Sorry about the 'Reality', but that is what it is. Bill Baka On the mark. The North American midwest, and the US as a whole for that matter is the ONE and ONLY means of keeping alive a World population that could not support half of current numbers without US agricultural production. Many believe that the drought/dustbowl of the 30s was some kind of a 500 year even in which almost no rainfall occured. Actually most areas recieved 50% of normal rainfall. Plenty of rainfall to support prairy grasses, but not corn or wheat. Such sever droughts are NOT 500 year events, but occur regularly every several decades. A drop of as little as 25% in US food production in one year would have devasting effects in many regions, and should the drought continue for 3-5 years as was the case in the 30s, we would see anarchy in many areas. CURRENT World populations simply cannot be supported indefinetly, much less continued growth. It;s a ticking timebomb. F. Prefect In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.....Douglas Adams- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Bingo, and the big aquifers - like the Ogalalla under the southern Great Plains - have been drained almost dry too. We really need to reel back our numbers, nationally by at least half, and worldwide by an order of magnitude. Well, as I said 6.5 billion as too much already. We need to shrink the population down to maybe 2 billion to live comfortably and only 1 billion to leave in relative luxury. Advances in science and technology have allow for what for all entents and purposes is a population that simply cannot be sustained over the long term. Mother Nature holds the ultimate trump card. Unfortunetely for many, your numbers may be quite accurate. F. Prefect In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.....Douglas Adams This is one time I wish I was wrong but the math doesn't lie. People keep thinking technology will allow unlimited population growth but it can't happen. Even the oceans are just about fished out but people just see the pretty blue water and don't think about what is happening below the surface. Reality is a bitch, but we can't alter the fact that we will wipe out the planet. Bill Baka |
