I for one think the USA has too many people, to say nothing of the 7 Billion in the world. I am not going to suggest that we need to knock off a 150 million, or several Billion, that would be insane. On the other hand, the thought of living in crowded cities or with the realization that the secluded areas today will be crowded in 30 years, makes me sad for my grandchildren.
Can anyone imagine living in India, China or in Mexico City? I cannot even stomach the idea of LA or NYC. Give me land, lots of land under starry skies above, DON’T FENCE ME IN. If there were a wilderness to civilize, I would want to go there.
In short, IMO there are too many people. We need to quit feeding those that will not feed themselves. We need to quit feeding those that will not fight their government and force a change to a free market and guaranteed rights, along the pattern of the US in 1776 to 1784. THEY are the ones that are over-represented on this planet. Then again WE need to force our government back into the bottle, put a cork in it and make it good for a 100 years or so.
You’re wrong:
Drive from the eastern border of Texas to the state’s westernmost city of El Paso sometime. You will be astonished at how much space there is in this one state alone. It’s scary big, and most of it is empty, lonely...nothing.
Now look at a map of the whole country and try to wrap your head around how much space that is. It’s mind bogglingly huge.
Want even more space? Drive through Canada. You’ll long for civilization.
