Too many people?

[FirstBorn]

yes. Most definately too many people.

We (that is the western world) seem to have some balance in population possibly we are actually reducing population slightly. Now i want to live pretty much by myself in the country. I enjoy nature and some measure of freedom that i can only have by myself or with a limited crowd of friends.

This i my ideal and if growing population by raising the price on housing/land and generally getting in my way is limiting that. Obviusly someone has to go. Thatd either meen im taking up too much space and have to go, or somebody else would.

Enuff with me thou. The UN and varius aid organisations, sometimes gets this feeling that they have to go help a bunch of people around the world. Primarily in africa, they have been doing this all my life and even when i really try. The only result im seeing is growing population and growing problems.

It may be cruel to say so but logic would dictate that not helping atall till population drops to a managable size, would in the long run open he possibility of actually making a difference thatll sustain itself.

At some level we are too many people. On the other hand, I like a lot of the benefits that accrue from that. If you want the population of the world to be even say 1,000,000,000 people then you're looking at a significant downturn in many things.

I happen to participate in fringe activities that under 0.01% of the population engage in, and that happen only in North America. Assuming even a population reduction to 200,000,000 in North America, that 0.01% becomes 20,000 people, which is a very small group to target when spread across an entire continent.

How many of your hobbies/activities/interests would be around if the population underwent severe decline?

You say too many but on what do you base that?

yes. Most definately too many people.
