what's up with that?

The human population has obviously increased out of control over the past century or so. Of course, the reasons are apparent in our everyday lives if we compare it to the customs and lifestyles of a little less than a century ago. Think about it, if you were to get a common cold you would probably run off to the corner market and get an over the counter drug that would cease the symptums of this cold and ultimately cure it ten times faster than if it were to be let play out on its own. Am I wrong? The human population is growing because of the lower death rates which leads to higher birth rates. With the average person running off to the corner market everytime they get some sort of "bug", the rate that the products are being sold and therefore the need of the product grows, the more often the ingrediants are harvested to meet that need. This is a neverending loop that is one of the main reasons that our earth is not able to hold these many people. So, what can be done to try and reverse this pattern? Well, the most practical answer is to go with the ideas of family planning. Since this is offensive in some counrties, education and equal oppertunities for women will help in the decrease of the world wide birth rates. Other than that, I got nothing. So, until next time, toodle-pip!
