[QUOTE="SCRUBS620, post: 519748, member: 5302"] Good post!! Alot of the problems that are constantly brought up on this board are directly related to population explosions. The price of fertilizer, the price of fuel, the price of land, goverment reguulations, encroachment, the list goes on. The population has to stop growing. If someone does not step in to enforce this, [b]mother nature will[/b]. I think the death toll might even be greater due to todays weakened population. We were a much hardier breed back when these outbreaks took place. Now with the improvement in medicine alot of the people who would not have survived before do and go on to reproduce, multiplying these weakened genes in our population. Dont mean to sound harsh but its true. The deaths we saved before are probalby going to be multiplied at some point. The starving children in Africa is a horrible thing correct? I dont think anyone would argue with that but I heard one time that it was directly linked to everyone there getting vaccinated for smallpox. Without smallpox the population exploded far beyond what the land could tolerate. Now there is an AIDS epidemic. Again we are fighting to save everyone but what is the point if they dont start taking responsibility for their population. If we do succeed and defeat AIDS, that will be more people to reproduce, the population will grow even faster and then eventually something else will kick in to reduce the numbers. As the population density grows so will the speed of the spread of these diseases. It will be an epidemic before anyone realizes it. I am sure that every great civilization thought they were invincible also, now they are just ruins buried in the dirt. Someday they will be digging around our cities wondering how we lived and survived without their technology. [/QUOTE]
