      <![CDATA[Dave, you're most welcome.<br>
<br>
There's a new book out by James Kunstler called Too Much Magic. Though a bit extreme in his predictions and descriptive language, he makes a case that we are in "The Long Emergency" where the world's massive population is causing resource depletion and leading us to a major "contraction," from which we simply cannot invent our way of as we have in past crises, and that we can't even forge a consensus on what to do about it (gridlock in Congress and acrimony over Global Warming / Climate Change).<br>
<br>
Meanwhile, author Michael Klare tells us is in "The Race for What's Left" that earth's resources are largely gone and competition (war?)

      <![CDATA[Dave, hello. I got a flavor that Wattenberg was whining a bit about not maintaining the kind of growth rates that keep the economy humming along, something in the 3% rate, and that he was predicting bad outcomes from such a declining birth rate.

      <![CDATA[Smartestman, sure I have an agenda (and it is simple): to leave for our children a world worth inheriting. I don't think you made your case, but you are certainly entitled to your opinion.

      <![CDATA[Your conclusions "What is keeping us from doing this" are simplistic and agenda based, to say the least. Let's break it down:<br>
Your first example:  "it just takes a little information"  The people that actually care have embraced population growth since the 50's.

      <![CDATA[Ben Wattenberg authored a fine book called "FEWER" about demographics and population change, which is excellent reading material. Check the review on Amazon:<br>

Myself, I stopped at zero children, no need to add to the squirming masses.
