There's at least once difference between the two of us. I believe people are individuals, while you believe that you can lump groups of people into a clone grouping. Another difference is that I believe that science has progressed since the 1970's. Re: Elitists. If you want elitists look at the GOP as the paragons of elitism. They reek of elitism. Bush could care less what the people want. He knows what's best; God told him so. Bill Frist can look at a video tape and make a medical diagnosis of Terry Schiavo; he knows what's best for Terry and her family. Personally, I use tap water. jttmab

Here's one way we control the population explosion. Already, at the dawn of the 21st century, 40 million men, women and children (that's roughly 7 Jewish holocausts) perish annually- that's EVERY YEAR- from hunger, starvation, disease and malnutrition. Out of the roughly 100,000-150,000 who die every day around the world, roughly 40,000 of these are children. In 1900, there were approximately 1 billion people inhabiting the Earth. Today, in 2003, that number is well over 6 billion- an unprecedented and exponential increase in 100 years of human history. China and India, the two most populous nations on the planet (both with well over a billion inhabitants), as well as the poor, undeveloped and developing nations that comprise the continents of Asia, Africa and Latin America, will continue to bear the brunt of world hunger and global starvation. Africa is by far the poorest and least developed continent harboring the poorest of the poor and the most destitute worldwide. Today, more than 1 billion people in the world are chronically starving and malnurished. By contrast, the United States throws away 100 billion tons of food a year. Of a total of 6.2 billion people worldwide, roughly 1.2 billion live on less than US$ 1/day. 1.7 billion lack access to clean water. 3 billion live without decent sanitation...
