and thats just my personal opinion its your right and previledge not to agree with me and that fine, if every one agreed with everyone, we wouldnt get anywhere. so keep to your own opinions, dont let other people change them on a wim. this was a good discussion i learned alot thanks man.
Malthus's disciples have been awaiting the population apocolypse since he wrote that tripe. I once bought into it, then I saw it for the garbage it was: another ideological weapon in the social planner's arsenal with almost no basis in fact.
I'm glad you're on a successful course. I myself am a computer network admin, which up until India came into the picture was pretty much one of the most lucrative positions on the planet. At which point thousands of jobs in the western world were lost. But hey, as long as everyone else made out, that's ok.
