The unfortunate thing about it is that those of us who have demonstrated
the ability to take care of ourselves have come to realize that there is
population growth problem have taken steps to deal with it. Most people
in the developed world have stopped having large families, limiting
themselves to 1-2 children. Meanwhile, those in the poorest and most
densely populated countries are still having large families.you have to
wonder when you see coverage of famine relief project and see people
coming in with 12 or more half starved kids. We constantly see scenes of
huge families of scrawny, underfed kids. If they can't feed the kids
they have they should not have more.
