Interesting Opinion Piece

sorry about the long artical, but for anyone who is interested or anyone who thought overpopulation is real, i reccomend reading it.

here are quotes that it highlights on the paper copy i have:

[quote]We will not run out of food, natural resources, or room.  The theory is completely and dangerously false.  The world now produces more food on less land than ever before.  The world is awash in food.[/quote]

[quote]Within ten years of its founding, UNFPA assisted in the establishment of the most brutal population control program the world has ever seen.[/quote]

[quote]The UN predicts that every nation on earth, with the exception of a few African nations, will reach below replacement fertility within the next twenty years.  And this is a very serious problem.[/quote]

yes it is probably true that you can fit the whole population of the world into a small state and there being enough room for an average family home (would make for an interesting city....LOL)

but humans are already destroying the earth at an alarming rate - how much worse will it be with an extra 3 billion people?

K K thanks - I get lazy and my automatic response to long posts is to quickly scroll them out of my vision....LOL

Thanks for the article! I have saved it and will read it when I get the time. I am very interested in the Church's take on this issue (over population) because it is also my stance. I play "devils advocate' to get my queries answered.
