> Let's say for the sake of argument that 60% of everyone has to die before the end of the century to get the population down...
Yeah. I thought it was common knowledge / commonly accepted that the global population has exceeded carrying capacity. More recently I learn that people are rather obsessed with representation to the point of focusing on proportionality. So, for instance, I think part of the focus on our having Maaori and Pacific Islanders be encouraged to breed as quickly and prolifically as possible is our desire to have them retained at around 20 per cent (or whatever) of the population of NZ in the face of immigration.
So... The statistic in the newspaper yesterday was that 1 in 10 children don't have their own bed to sleep in.
It's 'in the name of culture' but it's been what's prevented the culture and the people from developing. It isn't part of Maaori culture. It is killing Maaori culture. Nobody wants to live, like that.

> This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. The cost of one modern heavy bomber is this: a modern brick school in more than 30 cities. It is two electric power plants, each serving a town of 60,000 population. It is two fine, fully equipped hospitals. It is some fifty miles of concrete pavement. We pay for a single fighter with a half-million bushels of wheat. We pay for a single destroyer with new homes that could have housed more than 8,000 people. . . . This is not a way of life at all, in any true sense. Under the cloud of threatening war, it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron.[1][5]It is very sad.
It is very very sad, indeed.I wish they would let the people go.
But go where? Where will the people go. There are too many bullies in the world making their way take take take take taking other peoples stuff. Doing what they can to prevent others... People don't want poor people having schools. In these parts... We are keen on the whole aspergilloma... Aspergillus growing in your TB holes... We are keen on the whole surfactant for premature babies... We are very very very keen on the longitudinal effects of oxygen deprivation for peoples conceived in alcohol...
Our governments likes to rule the people thus and so...
