over-population

Nature has a way of dampening down on "Overpopulation". When small ground mammals have extra large families, the predators somehow know to increase their babies. And this gets the population back level. When any human grouping prior to very recent times grew to large, disease always struck and reduced the human population.

Now we have used our brains to build larger cities with intricate systems of fresh water plants and food and transportation and disease control plus reduce baby mortality. All this combines to create an over-populated world.

When any disaster occurs like a hurricane or major flooding or tsunami or earthquake or prolong drought, all the structures for supplying fresh water and food disappear. This will be the way of the future. The "bread-basket" of the Midwest USA has experienced several repeating droughts. The underground lake in the Midwest is slowly being drained for irrigation. If a drought and the water table in that lake drop at the same time, the USA will be without both a food source and a multi-billion export industry. Are you prepared to last 2 or 3 years before the "bread-Basket regains its growing capacity?

Some of the things we are doing now could stave off that scenario for a year or two. But 3 or 4 years and there will be riots in the streets with people looking for food. And people will begin to migrate back to around the Great Lakes where there is plenty of fresh water.

Somehow - Someway - the world's population needs to reduce by as much as half or we will all be in dire straits.

And that's the way I see it...

Over Population and Food

At the rate the world is creating new babies and with more people living longer, the world's population will soon reach 10,000,000,000 - That's TEN BILLION people. And you say - so what!!!

All these ten billion people will need fresh water. The world is short of fresh water now at population 7,500,000,000

All these ten billion people will need food. The world is short of farm land now at population 7,500,000,000. A major drought would starve hundreds of millions of people in one year. and if the drought lasted for three or more years, the population would continue to shrink to under a billion. That means 6,500,000,000,000 (Six hundred Billion Five hundred million) people would die from starvation.

Many of these ten billion people will need fish. The world's oceans are straining to feed the world's demand now at population 7,500,000,000.

In our lifetimes, the world will find itself without fresh water, grains and fish. Forget OIL. Forget the hoax of global warming. IT'S STARVATION that will bring down all the world's countries.

Think about it. In a major flood, tornado, cyclone, hurricane, snow storm the ability to move food and have fresh water is significantly reduced for a time. Just imagine if the workers to load the ships with grain starved or the truck drivers starved or any of the transportation workers were starving and could not work. The entire world's population would be at risk. This is what will happen if we continue to be non-responsible and have more than 2 babies per family.

We need to begin to reduce the world's population BEFORE a major strain is put on the world's fresh water and food supply. While there are many things I disagree on with the way Chine treats its citizens, China is being wonderfully responsible in reducing its population with its one child per family policy. India and other over-populated countries should adopt the same policy of one child per family.

And that's the way I see it...

Over Population and JOBS

When people have more than one or two babies and when people have babies under the age of 20, the 'FUTURE WAVE" of potential job applicants increases faster than the ability of the United States or the world to create jobs.

Let's look at this in today's reality. There are fewer places to get jobs. When some employers announce future hiring of a few jobs -even a 100 new job- several thousand job applicants form lines a day in advance. To me this suggests that those people willing to work have no place to work.

It also says that there are just too many people in the job working years. WHY? Because families are having 2 or 3 or 4 or 5 or 6 or 7 or more babies. This shows to me that people in general have no concept of social responsibility to the community. If they did, they would not be populating like ignorant animals without any concern for their ability to provide for these "extra" children and no concern about where there children will ever find work.

When the population increases at 200,000 babies or more a week, and the current job market is at best creating between 35,000 to 150,000 jobs per month increasing the reality that new babies will never be able to find a job. Even if our economy were to create 500,000 or 750,000 new jobs per month, we would still be creating many more babies than potential jobs. The same for all countries.

So wise up my fellow American citizens and plan babies after age 25 and only have one or two babies.

And this goes for the world in general as well. Begin to reduce population now or there will never be enough jobs anywhere for anyone who wants to work.

And that's the way I see it...

Overpopulation - How it affects your schools

Over Population costs you real money- directly - it's money out of your pocket. HOW? Because the cities have to raise your property taxes to pay for the extra teachers and new schools. Why all the extra schools and teachers?

Let's look at these three examples:

#1) When the average family has three or more children, that means there will be a future 'wave' in their local school of over-crowding of students. That has several implications. Teachers demand smaller classroom sizes. Therefore, more teachers are needed to handle extra children in small classes. Then as the student population "wave" builds up, new schools need to be built. This is paid for by local taxes - mostly real estate taxes.

#2) When children under 18 have babies, the stress on the schools is dramatic. This also increases the student population and the same scenario in number one occurs. Also, by children under 18 having babies, this also affects the generation timetable. The lower age that children begin having babies, the shorter the generation time and the more crowded the schools become. This increases the Future "Wave" of children in schools.

#3) The best scenario is that on average all families have 1 or 2 children and begin having children after age 25. WHY? This reduces the "wave" of future students on the schools and reduces class sizes and reduces the need to build more schools and helps teachers give more attention to each student in their classes.

There is a POSITIVE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY TO THE COMMUNITY to wait to have children until AFTER AGE 25 AND THERE IS A POSITIVE FINANCIAL OUTCOME TO ALL FAMILIES. It's a WIN-WIN future.

And that's the way I see it...

Over Population and Freedom

When has Egypt ever rose up from the people and demanded Freedom - ever? For the last 5,000 years, the people of Egypt have been ruled by dictators. And for most of that time, most of the Egyptians were slaves, beggars or a few middle class merchants. But has there ever been an uprising for Freedom?

Think about the Magna Carter signing in 1215 AD in England. That was a first cry for Freedom that I am aware of and it was from the Princes and Lords NOT the general public. The first cry for Freedom from the public was in 1776 in the New United States of America. And again in India under Gandhi's rule over a hundred years later

So my question is: Why are the Egyptian people now in the streets? Who is really behind these rallies?

And why are so many people able to stay in the streets for so many straight days. The answer is that there are no jobs in Egypt. Is it the government's fault? Maybe some. But with the population soaring to 80,000,000+ and almost no industry, where does anyone think there will be jobs for all that want to work??? That is totally crazy thinking. The population of this country is too large for the potential business community to absorb. That goes for India and Mexico as well; and most of South America.

It is time to start decreasing the world's population before we run out of land to farm and fish in the oceans.

And that's the way I see it...
