Reply #9: It's true that global population growth is a big issue...

Ha ha nice inebriated post!

I didn't even begin to factor population growth in as a limiting factor; but then again, neither does the corporatocracy. They simply see "the fastest growing markets" and "the cheapest labor markets" as the places to plunder. There, they can sell the most, and pay the most impoverishing wages. And yes, natural resources abroad are degraded...and back home, given the current US macroeconomic model, the US degrades itself fiscally.

I do have background in biology of all sorts (but not ecology), so I know where you are coming from. And I have a little background in economics.
