did you know that the world population didn't hit one billion until 1830? how about that it didn't reach two billion until 1930?
today the world population is 5.7 billion with a yearly growth rate of 1.6%. at this rate the world population will be ten billion by the year 2050.
does this concern anyone else? do you think the earth can handle this type of stress on its resources? if you said yes.. you might be interested to know that the U.S. is at or nearing it's carrying capacity... that is - it's ability to sustain population at a basic, healthy, moderately comfortable standard of living.
we are about to top out people. the standard of living that you are so accustomed to will not be available for you children. the standard of living in the united states in going to decrease unless the united states starts putting effort into controlling the world's population. why is the united states, the leader of the free world, so far behind china and india in realizing that this is a very real problem that needs tended to now.. not 40 years from now.. not even 10 years from now.
would you rather the population was what it was ten years ago? would you like the population to stay where it's at right now? or would you rather it grow until your children have no yard or park to play in... until there is mass shortages of food, labor, clean water, land, air, etc.. until viruses, fueled by overcrowding, kill in epidemic proportions.. until global warming as a result of the mass pollution warms the ice caps and drowns millions living in cities on the coasts.. until oxygen is sold in convenient stores the way that bottled water is today..
what reason do you have for the united states not implementing some form of legislation, as China did, to put a halt to this sleeping giant that is just waiting to take away our air, our water, our lives. did you say "because it's our civil liberties to have as many children as we want"?? if so, are you saying that it is more important for you to have the right to rear three children.. than for those same children to live in a world capable of providing them with the most comfortable standard of living this world could offer?
the u.s. and it's people, as well as the governents and people of the entire world, need to start following in china's and india's footsteps... and need to push past their demands for "civil liberties" in order to support a greater cause.... the continued existence of the human race..
