Obviously, Pop Growth has equated to global warming.

Perhaps the democrats idea of controlling the global warming would be a "good war" maybe even a nuclear war so we can have a little "winter" effect.

Afterall, lets not waste a good crisis.

Peace / Out

Don't know how many of you are keeping up, but due to prosecutorial misconduct, all charges are being dropped against him. It's a shame that some people are so busy trying to make a name for themselves that they throw a wrench into the wheels of justice.

I agree with Betty. I personally have no kids, but I am educated and have a nice job (for now). Unfortunately, like most of you, my taxes are paying for so many others who feel it is their right to just go out and make babies that they can't afford. We can't blame it on lack of birth control anymore, since that has been free from our controlling government for many years now.

Another kudos to government education: I have two nieces. Both dropped out of school some time in their high-school years. Both of which got pregnant before the age of 18. Neither of which is educated (obviously) or holds any type of full time job. One of them just had another baby at the age of 22! There are no fathers here either. Those guys were long-gone when this whole process started. All five of those human beings (and that's just in my small family) are counting on the rest of us to pay their rent, food, heat, etc. They have NO CLUE what financial responsibility is. They were never taught that in school I guess, at least not before they dropped out.

I am all against government control, but perhaps it is time to propose a minimum age and education level before keeping a baby. I know that sounds crazy and controlling, but perhaps they should start teaching these teens about the large cost associated with having and raising children BEFORE they drop out of school!

Teach them that if they don't get pregnant, they will be able to afford a new BMW by the age of 24. That way it will be put in terms they can understand (maybe).

I agree.
Those who are truly concerned (I'm not) should go out into the fields, lie down, and simply let go of life, leaving their bodies to return to the earth whence they came.
Have you ever noticed that, when something like this comes up, the most vigorous proponents always want someone else to make the sacrifices?
Hmmmm.

I don't even recognize this place anymore.

Oh and Rick, Is Is, that's 2 for you LOL!!!

The problem with population growth is that a large percentage of the babies born are not born to people who can take care of them. Therefore a minority of the people are supporting the majority of the people. Who wants to live in 100 square feet. The resources to feed all these people are taking up most of the space in the world. And most of them are not contributing anything to their own upkeep. They think the fact that they can breed makes them entitled to a living.

"A science advisor to Hillary Clinton says that there are too many people living on our planet."

She balks at critics of genetic crops as "going back to the 19th century". What do you think organic is? A return to our "agrarian-based society" and refusal to use modern pesticides/fertilizers. Care to show me the difference?

$11 million, which covers the cost of the materials, grading, etc. in addition to the labor, which, according to Redmond Mayor John Marchione.

If the entire cost went to labor, $11 million/400 jobs = $27,500 over 18 months. Over a year, that would be $18,333 ($27,500 * 2/3). Considering only the payroll taxes for social security and medicare, the gross pay per worker is $17,030. Over 2080 hours in a full-time year, that comes to a bit less than $8.19 an hour. And, again, this excludes all materials, grading, engineering, etc. Just another politician pissing on our feet and calling it rain.

Let's use some simple math to put the worlds population into perspective. There are approximately 6 billion people in the world. Give all of them a 10'x10' (100 sf)area to occupy. That means we would need 600 billion sf to accomplish this. There are 27,878,400 sf in a square mile. Simple division tells us that we would need 21,522 square miles to accomplish this. This means that the world's population could have 100 sf each and all fit in the state of West Virginia.
Please tell me how we are running out of room on this planet. I think liberals really mean they don't think they can effectively control every aspect of the lives of this many people.
I wonder what they have in mind for the excess population if they ever get total control?

Perhaps Dr. Nina Federoff, the Jenny-ass "science" adviser in question, will be first to set an example for the rest of us,and voluntarily leave the planet ahead of schedule.

No worries, Shwartzenfuhrer Uhhhhbama will solve that by letting Iran acquire Nuclear weapons.

Regarding the kids in Canada with the cell phones. Yeah it might be a pain in the neck for the school board and kids could definitely be doing themselves a favor by giving their best in school, but it's at least a positive sign that the youngin's up there know their rights and when those rights have been violated. Too bad a large part of America seems to have no idea that their rights are being stripped from them in plain sight.

The school should get a waiver for the jammer & designate a certain area of the school that is unaffected by the jammer where they can use their phones. This way they can call their parents or whoever so their "rights" are not trampled on. If it is a small area (similar to a smoke hole) then it can be monitored & truant kids can be herded back to class.
