Nope. I really don't care about your cable package. Just pointing out yet another claim of yours that is of dubious veracity. High population growth rates are not a good thing. The only way we have found to curb growth rates, other than genocide, is to raise the standard of living in those countries. When your only retirement plan is to have a lot of children, people have little choice. Offering birth control services can help, but it just slows the rate of growth. Whining about it doesn't help. Neither does isolationism. These are well know facts. I thought you were aware of them. I guess I was wrong. So, do we put you down for helping more or the genocide options?
