As long as we allow our leaders to equate wealth and prosperity with unbrid=
led population growth, we will never bring our population into control. Her=
e in Canada, we managed to drop our birth rate to a sustainable level some =
time ago but we have topped this off by allowing immigration to the tune of=
250,000 folks a year. Which means a) we have swelled our population with a=
n ethnicity that has a higher birth rate than our then our present one and =
b) left behind holes in their native countries that will continue to be fil=
led by their growth rates. Humans do exactly what every other creature does=
- propagate to flourish. We are just more successful than every other crea=
ture on the planet. And how we are going to check the innate greed that dri=
ves our wealthy elements to continually influence this is far beyond me....=
move over Martyn, this is a soap box that can get crowded in a hurry.
