LOL, the old Malthusian fallacy. More people means more possibilities.

Out of curiosity, two questions - what faith do you practice and who are you voting for in the Presidential race and why?

It depends on the people, doesn't it? What sort of posibilities does Johnny Moron offer? Stupid people don't offer much. Bright people do. The Bright, and easy energy, have kept hunger at bay for large numbers of people.

Still Malthus has been proven correct -- for certain populations.

There are parts of the world where people reproduce to the point that their children routinely starve. And when those children die, they go off to make more.

And there's no surplus. No surplus for infrastructure. No surplus for thought. No surplus for anything.

By many definitions, Atheist.

And I'm voting McCain.

The entire Democratic party seems committed to allowing the intelligent to kill their offspring while allowing the world to be filled with more mouth-breathers sucking the life from the productive.

Abortion should be illegal for any intelligent person over 18 and mandatory for any idiot with with an IQ below 90.
