My problem isn’t so much with the quantity of humans, as much as the QUALITY of humans. Specifically hood rats and LIEberals! -TomT

I have been told the weight of insects on the earth far exceeds the total weight of all mammals combined.

Disease, war and and starvation will eventually control population growth. Already is in many places.

Doctor Norman Borlaug did his part in the Green Revolution many years ago, he voiced concern about population growth even then.

We are in a population bubble, a huge bubble. All bubbles burst. It most likely won't be the end of humans, just a radical adjustment down to a sustainable level. There are any number of things that could pop this bubble and if (when) it happens it will be fast.


Patriotism (and religion) is the last refuge of a scoundrel.

Back in the eighties some pundit predicted the AIDS virus would make all the plagues before look small.

20% of South Africa has AIDS. Other African countries probably are worse. Give it a little time and let the virus mutate.

We are in fact, at this time seeing that.


Ecc 10:2
The heart of the wise inclines to the right, but that of a fool to the left.

A Nation which leaves God behind is soon left behind.

ah yes, the tipping point. we've all laughed at (or at least i have) rep. johnson's talk with the navy about guam tipping over.

when enough factors add up, if they ever do, it'll be like the straw that breaks the camel's back.

or the brick that overloads the wagon. the collapse of an experiment gone wrong.

Correct. When city sanitation , water, and deliveries shut down it won't be long. I went to Michigan in 1991 and I was amazed at the massive number of 18 wheelers going into Detroit.
