Carl,
I wonder, has the population of the world increased or is it that the number of
people in certain places like the US, has increased. I mean, I doubt that the
indigenous population in Australia or in the jungles of Brazil have increased.
And I think I read that one reason for China ending its one child policy, is
that its population is decreasing. Well, I know that there are other reasons as
well which have to do with the people favoring boys over girls so that there
really was a shortage of women.

Over population, in regards to the resources needed to sustain Human Life, is a
major factor in population shifts, and in subsequent wars.
This includes clean water, breathable air, fertile soil, along with such
resources used for consumption and for profit, such as oil, coal, forests, and
all of the precious metals. Most Human activity in the past has focused on
expansion as the primary method of controlling Land and its Resources. What I
mean is that we Humans have no long range plan for controlling growth, or for
preserving our Earth's resources. In fact, we Humans can be compared to the
ravishes of a Cancer in the Human body. Cancer and Humans continue to consume
and expand as if there were no tomorrow.
In the USA alone, there has been a population explosion. Just in my
lifetime look at the numbers. 1935: 127 million(est) 1940, 132 million 1954,
163 million (the year I graduated from high school) 1968, 200 million(est)
2016, 325 million(est) In my lifetime we have more than doubled our population.
So, in about 50 years we've added 117 million to our population. Has the
population of life in our oceans matched the rising numbers of mouths? As we
cover the flatlands with cities and factories, where are we developing new
farms?
While we are recklessly gobbling up all around us, little puffed up Tyrants
strut about rattling their Nucs and demanding obedience to their way of life.
And like Dodo birds, we dumbly follow along. I am ashamed of my fellow
Americans when I see them chanting "Make America Great Again", and blindly
following their little tin god to the Brink of Eternal Darkness.
In the history of Planet Earth, ours has been a wild, but short ride.
Good luck to anything that comes after we've destroyed our way of life.

There's a magazine called Jacobin which has a podcast that I recently
discovered called, "The Dig". Yesterday's episode was a fascinating
discussion about Immigration, its history in the past 25 years, and
how the borders have been, and are being handled. There is an
interview with an author, Paul Andreas, who wrote a book about the
subject that he updated in
2009 and which is still relevant today. I don't remember the name of
the book. He has a new one, a memoir called Rebel Mother. Apparently
his mother escaped from Chile after the coup with which the US was involved.

It's impossible when the other side sees only "other" and cannot see
that there are more similarities than differences.
