What do you suggest we do to address the "problem" of over population? Shall we simply continue to allow governments the ability to fabricate pseudo-justifications for war? Or perhaps we should just manufacture justification for out right genocide in third world countries and call it that? Or maybe we can force third world inhabitants to undergo an American Sterilization Process (mandatory tube tying for females and mandatory vasectomies for males), whereby each and every one of these third world inhabitants will be prevented from producing off spring until they have repaid the money we have loaned to them plus interest? Or maybe, in a rare display of tokenism, we can sterilize them independent of the repayment of the loans to show our generosity?
Perhaps, Mark would just prefer to give up? Sounds like it.
Imo, the only way the overpopulation problem can be satifactorily addressed would be by evenly redistributing the planet's wealth. Only then could measures preventing overpopulation be accepted or enforced globally.
Do you think that's going to happen? That's why I describe your post as hazy idealism.
