Statistics show that the Earth's human population grew slowly until
about 200 years ago. We reached 7 billion in October of 2011, and
today in April of 2017, the estimated population is 7.5 billion.
Official estimates projected the world population would reach 8
billion before 2040, but from the figures I'm looking at, it could
well reach the 8 billion mark by 2025.
Of course these guestaments can't predict things like famine, world
war, or the effects of climate changes...oops, climate change,
according to Emperor Trump, is a big False News Fairy Tale.
But before you comment on His Highness, think twice. According to the
False News Media, some people are being threatened with physical
violence just for expressing their thoughts about His Noble One.

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.
