Too many people
I've decided that all my feelings of doom can be traced by to those 1970s-era predictions of overpopulation. It's not something you hear about much today. To the contrary, we're told the planet can hold a few billion more. I'm not buying it. I think we've surpassed our comfort level. And why do citizens of rich countries need to reproduce at all? There are millions -- if not billions -- of poorer people dying to get in. Some would argue that massive immigration will change our national character. Yeah, well, so what? Time alone will change our national character. And that's why we have a living Constitution. We're not bound by creed or borders or cultures. We're everything. And, as Americans, we hold certain truths to be self-evident, as our "founding fathers" put it. So, that said, any chance we can get the golbal population down by a couple billion in the next couple centuries? Please? My birthday is coming up in a couple months, and that's at the top of my list. Along with a new bottle of Chanel Pour Monsieur; I'm almost out.
