PB,

Re: I fully agree btw it should be a plan for the USA and other Western counties to pull the third world up to our standards of living, not the other way around.

That's delustional thinking I'm afraid. The planet isn't that abundant. The oceans food fish stocks are down 90% in 40 years. They are about to collapse. Agriculture depends on inputs and fertilizer just doubled in cost in the U.S. this year, since it is based on a diminishing resource, natural gas. Overall world production of petroleum is about to peak and begin an inexorable decline.

The planet simply cannot afford to provide middle class lifestyles to 6.3 Billion humans. We have become a force of nature, causing global warming and the incident greater meteorological disturbances associated with this.

To my mind, we're about 40 years late in figuring out that limiting the world's population is the only sensible future course for humanity, barring that we simply continue to use war to thin the herd into perpetuity. A plan that the arms dealers behind Bush lust after.
