I agree with what you say, but if you're using it as a means to denounce
my argument against human overpopulation, then I would like you to submit
a plan whereby mankind can live in balance with the earth when the scale
(with respect to earth's resources) is completely tipped toward man. As
far as I can see, it's not possible. And to make things worse, population
is growing geometrically. The fact is that it would be "very" beneficial
for both man and the earth if the population gets reduced.
