I believe that overcrowding leads to incivility and incivility leads to more government and more government leads to socialism. I have lived in a large metropolitan area for 8 years while working throughout many of the rural areas of Ohio. I can tell you without any doubt the more people you cram into an area the more crime, hostility, rudeness and selfishness you will observe. I don't think it is a coincidence that the 'blue' socialist areas of our nation are the crowded urban areas.

I'm certainly not anti-human. I'm pro-life in all cases (including rape and incest), anti-death penalty, against state funded embrionic stem cell research and against doctor assisted suicide.

As I said before, depriving liberty is NEVER an option. I believe civic policy in the gray areas where liberty is not a question could benefit from a zero-growth perspective.

It is amazing to me that anyone can believe the garbage spouted by these thoroughly discredited Malthusian prophets.

No organism or civilization can survive without growth. The population trend of Western civilization is staggeringly apparent, and growth is not the problem!

Zero growth = death.

IHave you noticed the antiintuitive fact that families in rural communities are larger thasn families in urban communiities?
