Personaly I think the population problem is a self correcting one. Between global warming(it is a natural force, not man made), how much CO2 do humans put out a day, jihads, starvation from over population, war and just plain crazy people the population will self adjust.

I'm going to work on cross breeding Yorkshires and sparrows so they can fly to your house and everybody will have enough food.  ........... And I bet I meet my goal before you do.

I think somebody beat you to that one.  ................ And that may be the only long term hope.

maybe scotz, but just look at the rates now. it will be exponential on an almost monthly basis in the future - unless the avian flu does get us  and in the distant past, i would have agreed that it would. but now we are smarter and very eager for it not to. if we find a way to stop or at least stem what a plague of that magnitude would do to our population, then the colonization of outerspace really is our only option.

It unfortunately is coming down to the "haves" and the "who cares?".
wyndhy,
Discussing my thingy and doohickeys in public is . . . actually good advertisement.

After watching the "Sports Disasters" marathon last nite, I'm convinced now that we could make a dent in this population thing by classifying events like the Javelin Catch as "extreme sports"...at least it would get the Darwin thing going again...
