All good ideas, but the US or North America in general is not the problem.
Europe is basically breeding itself into islamism, and India and China are
out of control - populations-wise. Africa is just a huge burden on the
world (cause they have nothing worth anything there, except starving
millions) -- that was tongue-in-cheek political humour a la Mike. The
population of the world is about 7 x its holding capacity at the moment. We
are doomed, but I have cold beer and food and I will be dead before the
shit hits the fan, so I don't care. And... you will NEVER convince any
Western nation to do what they actually need to do to control this fiasco.
Happy fishing!
