Again I don't think you can separate the multitude of things we are doing to mess our own nest.

Can you separate global politics in the Middle East, and the related warfare, from the oil being oxidized into CO2?

Can you separate the global warming and pollution issues from the lack of drinking water and water for food crops?

Can you separate the damage being done to the oceans and fisheries from pollution and warming?

The list is long and ugly.

In the end there really is only a single root cause: Over population.

And this will continue unchecked until we decide that we control our DNA rather than our DNA controlling us. DNA doesn't give a damn about our happiness nor does it find war something to be feared.

My reply to each of the three questions is 'No', DA. What you imply is unquestionably right, and certainly none of those effects would be so marked if world population were less.

Your last sentence brings to mind R. Dawkins' "The Selfish Gene". I haven't read it, but I wouldn't be at all surprised if it were relevant to the point. Any comments on the book?

I find Dawkins a bit of a zealot but generally speaking, if one gets past the hyperbole he seems to be on a solid footing.

I am going to start a new thread based upon your question and a discussion I just had over lunch with a former instructor here at the U. Look for "Population and DNA" in the subject.

LOL! DA, you need to come play on LibertyPost.org. They would eat you alive.

I'm 20 years too old for that to happen.

As the Mexican saying goes:
