Re: population: real problem, or capitalist plot?

KJ-

Your wit is appreciated -- it is a welcome respite on this list.

To address just 2 of your points:

1)
"mucho people don't have enough C"

Absolutely.  And some people have too much.
The I=PCT approach is meant to be filled in with real numbers, and it will
compute differently in different parts of the world.  Huge numbers of
people need to have their standard of living raised, obviously.  But this
will be easier if the rate of growth is slowed dramatically.

2)
China.

I will follow you out onto the branch (where angels fear to tread) and say
that, under the circumstances, China's one-child policy was a good move.
Obviously acting sooner, and stressing voluntary choice, would have been
better.

Realistically, in the overall scheme of things, such policies seem harsh, 
but most likely prevent vast suffering in the future, for both humans
and other life on the planet.
