This is food for thought...

As for resources...These needs are not necesarily necessities, but desires of the population...

We are sucking the oil out of the ground and putting nothing back. The Earth could be becoming like a party balloon, empty inside, because of all the holes and tunnels and cavities that are being created to extract what is under the Earths' crust.

Peak oil/fossil fuel has been touched on in

Is the world over populated? I think so. Not in terms of space. When I go to my farm I have 8 acres of space around me, but I do see more and more houses being built on land that shouldn't have them. Once we start to disturb the balance of nature, making concrete unplanned cities, destroying what is considered the lung of the Earth to produce food and raw material for even more housing and furniture, we are over populated.

Okay now you've got me thinking... Not in terms of space... But in terms of disturbing the balance of nature...
I would like more information on that...

Of course it is easy to say this without an answer, or rather a politically correct answer to the problem, we will keep in this state of limbo untill push comes to shove and a war breaks out, which may not resolve the situation all together, because modern day wars aren't yielding as many corpses as in the old days.

We've been relying on wars in the past!!
There's got to be a better way...
