“Even if it does only hit 450 million. I'm not sure we can support it. Next time you go to your local grocery store take a look at where your food is coming from. Apples from Chile and New Zealand. Asparagus from Mexico. Most vegetables are being imported even now. The aquifer in the midwest is dropping and with (dare I say it) global warming Las Vegas and LA and the imperial valley will be fighting for water for irrigation and potable water. I live in upstate NY and the great lakes water levels are already dropping. Why do Americans always wait until a crisis is upon them before they take action. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.”

“You are probably right. I don't know. But, if, in fact that is true it will need to change. I'm against monopolies in government as much as I am in the private enterprise world.”

“Are you talking about Obama? China is the number one polluter these days and they're still growing fast. They are also the largest car market in the world now. Maybe they should be buying snow mobiles. That would be more practical.”

I can't reconcile the fact that unending immigration can lead to overpopulation, with my disdain for xenophobes and racists.”

“I'm 55. When I was born there were fewer than 150 million people in this country. The population doubled in fifty years to 300 million. I find that extremely worrisome because at the turn of the last century (1900) there were 76 million. So.... in the last one hundred years we've gained 210 million people. The article claims that in the next one hundred years we will see one billion. Our continent cannot support that kind of population growth.”

“Your fears are well-founded but will be dismissed and distorted by the PC, self-righteous in venues like HuffPo wherein MANY virtually worship changing the ethnic composition of the U.S. to conform with their "small-world-after-all," Disneyesque mindset of political eschatology. They NEVER question the distribution of other ethnic groups in other countries, e.g., China, which is 97% Han Chinese, much less any of the countries in Africa wherein even a small non-black population (albeit usually it's most productive cohort) is NOW completely excludable.

Policy-wise the U.S. must eschew another amnesty for ILLEGAL ALIENS, and, for the sake of its present population, REDUCE overall immigration to NO MORE than 100,000 (including ALL the largely phony claims for 'political asylum'....).

If you want to vision of the future under present U.S. immigration NON-POLICY, merely take a look at the crumbling, socio-utopia (ironic) to the south of the U.S. in Mexico--which will itself face shortly an acute short of potable water.....!”

QUOTE: "ruling class of white men educated in the 1950's and 1960's are on their way out."
"They have ravaged the country and stood for everything but progress"
Let's get back to the question of why isn't our president fulfilling his campaign promises and speaking out for a public option.”

“Well then you're just wrong. The poster is positing that the political leadership of the era in question fostered a repression of the working and minority class.

“This chart concerns me because most of the increases are caused by immigration. This country recently hit three hundred million and is projected to be almost a billion later this century. Overpopulation here at home and around the world will be as destructive as global warming. Our resources are not infinite and we need to get a grip on this.”

Palito replied on Dec 18, 2009 at 01:29:36

“Overpopulation is not going to happen. Fertility rates are going down worldwide. People age and stop reproducing too. DId you also forget that people die too? and there's the risk of famine, pandemics, natural disasters, etc etc. Populations do not grow exponentially.”

“Good Source to quell your fears:

http://www.springerlink.com/content/m1481x715x2l2059/

``A major Census Bureau study released in January 1989 has evoked renewed warnings in the media and among some population analysts that the U.S. faces population decline in the next century if it does not increase fertility and/or raise immigration.
The report's middle scenario rests on an assumed future total fertility rate (TFR) of 1.8, life expectancy of 81.2 years, and net immigration of 500,000 annually. These mid-range assumptions would yield a United States population of 268 million by 2000, peaking at 302 million in 2040 and falling to 292 million by 2080.''

Where you got 1 Billion can only come from mathematical model so absurd it might as well model the second coming of a Myth.”

I used to be a realtor and the law always stated that I had to disclose any conflict of interest to my clients. Politicians, analysts and journalists should be expected to do the same thing.

That is fine and good but most of them are owned by interest groups also, however it would be revealing if they all started washing each others dirty laundry cause we all know it is there.”

“Jane is doing more than that,she is also doing what the media should be doing.....er Ed is to expose Lanny Davis as a corporate shill.
Lanny Davis has made tons of money shilling for corporations against ordinary Americans and the working poor.

This guy is no liberal,he is a DINO.Now DINO and member of the DEM party should not exist .


Just remember how BClinton started the decline we are now experiencing with Glass-Stegall,Telco act ,Welfare reform and NAFTA etc.............

I can go on & on how he ,BClinton has harmed our America's middle class.But just remember Lanny Davis was the one advising BClinton on all those legislations & reforms.”

“I was brushing my teeth and listening to this clip when it suddenly dawned on me that a health reform bill that is mandatory for everyone but only benefits a segment of the population (those who cannot afford it) is somewhat like a welfare system. It's not for the benefit of the population at large. Hope that makes sense.”
