Population Growth Makes Life Worse[views:3946][posts:16]_____________________________________ [Oct 20,2006 9:59pm - Anti-Racism ""] Population growth is the ever expanding denominator that gives each person a shrinking share of the resource pie. It contributes to water shortages, cropland conversion to non-farm uses, traffic congestion, more garbage, overfishing, crowding in national parks, a growing dependence on imported oil, and other conditions that diminish the quality of our daily lives. More people require more of everything, including water. In our highly urbanized society, we fail to recognize how much water one person uses. While we drink close to a gallon of water each day, it takes some 500 gallons a day to produce the food we consume. The U.S. annual population growth of nearly 3 million contributes to the water shortages that are plaguing the western half of the country and many areas in the East as well. As water supplies tighten, the competition between farmers and cities intensifies. In this contest, farmers almost always lose. http://www.earth-policy.org/Updates/2006/Update59.htm |

| ______________________________________ [Oct 20,2006 10:51pm - sacreligion ""] the thing with democracy is that it's fair to everyone...in theory...you just have to take into account greedy fucks that ruin it for everyone else although it is true that democracy does indeed directly contradict nature, and the theory of darwinism altogether(until you take that whole soul thing into effect that makes us not animals) |

| ______________________________________ [Oct 20,2006 11:02pm - sacreligion ""] true, but like i said earlier the ratio of inept people to superb people is ridiculous...even if everyone capable of developing a working system in which everyone can equally participate, there will still be too many greedy people who will scheme to steal that power and use it to their advantage no matter what happens in life, you're fucked by greedy people |
