Goober, surely you're not including the blue-eyed soul of Hall and Oates in your sweeping generalization!

I am so fucking glad that I am never having kids. There are enough people on the planet as it is.

We're over due for a good war with lots of collateral casulties, that usually takes care of the population problem for a few decades. This is why I don't understand Fnord's whining about Isreal - they are actually doing something about the problem.

I like how governments ask for donations to solve the problem instead of doing something about themselves. Here is a nice little fact I read the other day
"How much would it cost to provide everyone in the world with clean water and safe sanitation? According to the World Social and Military Expenditures, the extra cost would be equivalent to about 1% of the money that world governments spend each year on weapons."
Now, this fact is a little out dated now that we have a war currently going on but you get the point.

And all they would do with it is have more babies in a geometric progression.
No matter how much money you spend, you can't drill a well where there is no water. If you started trucking in clean water, you have just created another master/slave relationship between the haves and have-nots.
I fear that the 20th century was the Century of Oil and that the 21st century will be the Century of Water.

No shit. Georgia already has state water restrictions, and in some areas they only get to use water for about two hours a day.
California is already in the red, yet you still see people at about 3 pm watering down their drive ways.
Speaking of water and California, there is this nice FLOOD INSURANCE that is going around from FEMA stating that if you live in the "flood zones" you are required to pay insurance. The chance of a flood happening in these areas are 1%. People are forced to pay (not at all cheap) insurance for this shit. Not only that but your house could be in a flood zone and your neighbor's house could be clear of it. You could literally be standing in a flood zone, take a step back, and be out of the flood zone.

Yeah - That sounds about right. Early in the decade/century, when California had some kind of electricity shortage and was leeching power off of Arizona and Nevada to "carry them through" this "crisis", I went out to visit a friend in San Diego. Con-Vinced that he would be able to find a fast-food place open on Christ-Mass day, we drove all a-round the city to various lo-cations. Whilst we never did find a fast-food "joint" which was actually open for business, at least three-quarters of them ap-peared to be so as all of their ex-terior and in-terior lighting was turned on.

I guess they don't have Waffle House in California. Yet another reason not to live there.

Note to Jews, Pagans, and Godless Heathens: If you wish to eat out on Christmas day, look for an Asian restaurant. Most of the owners of these establishments are Buddhist, Shinto, or Hindu and don't celebrate Christmas by closing for the day.

I think Jack in the Box stays open as well. California reminds me of the U.S.A. after 9/11. Everyone ran out and bought a flag but after a few months they were no longer aaaaa wavin'
During that energy crisis, that is still going on and in the summer we have rolling black outs due to all the A/Cs being cranked up, shopping centers would dim down the lights and a decorative sign was posted as to why.
Recenty, they opened up this huge fucking movie theater down the street (full bar and dinning) with a giant LCD screen showing previews out front. No sound. No real fucking purpose. Energy crisis?
