So three hundred million people in the US. I started commenting on that yesterday. So now what would I do about it. We need to reduce the population of the world. How do you say that without sounding like a racist or worse. I don't want to suggest I would do anything radical and yet the position itself sounds radical. The most radical position I can take is saying we need to educate women. There is a direct correlation between a woman's educaitonal level and the number of children she has. More education, fewer children. Not so radical, just something that needs to be said. Somehow the idea that we are sitting on a population bomb is not open to discussion. Even with the event of our population clock going over 300,000,000, I saw little to no coverage of the real ramification of this. NPR did this stupid piece on how the Census calculated the number.
