Iqbal... we can all benefit from dealing with problems before they are a crisis. I believe it was Malthus who first projected the very problems we see today of births outstripping the means of survival. Religions are ancients truths brought forward through time, who could have seen a thousand years ago that there would be more people on the planet than visible stars overhead. Higher birth rates weren't an option they were a necessity against mortality. In this time, in this age especially, we come face to face with the wisdom of our heritages. Jim

Ike, the problems which one could broadly describe as population growth, environment and consumerism deserve serious attention and discussion. I very much appreciate your seeing the collision these three have begun, and can only get worse with time. IF we are fortunate to avoid global conflict, if we are fortunate to work out trade and the sharing of wealth, it will be the moderation of our appetites to a shrinking world that determines the success of our future.
