Perhaps one of the most persistent and pervasive myths that have shaped the thinking of many people and, subsequently, public policy is the myth that the world’s population is spiraling out of control and that it will ultimately lead to catastrophic shortages of the essential resources necessary to sustain life.

I don’t believe that “the world’s population is spiraling out of control and that it will will ultimately lead to catastrophic shortages of the essential resources necessary to sustain life.”

I do believe that out of control Leftist, Liberal, Socialist, Progressive, Communist policies will ultimately lead to catastrophic shortages of the essential resources necessary to sustain life because of their proclivity to discourage entrepreneurship, work and creativity.

The desire and the will to improve one’s lot in life is what spurs on civilization and continuous improvement of the human condition (I hate the Libs for making ‘Progressive’ a word non-grata).

When government becomes the expected engine of the improvement of people’s day to day existence that progress of improvement will slow to a crawl. It will slow to the pace of bureaucracy.

Cases in point:

Nearly all the famines in Africa are the direct result of government policy, even those that are touched off by drought.
