John - Let's not get carried away by Malthus, who, just 200 years ago, made his gross error in trying to scare folks around the world. Show me a society who has undergone "famine" and I'll show you a "famine" created by a government. Show me some emaciated, pot-bellied children and I'll show you a socialist/criminal government. Jeez, Japan's "folk-density" is amongst the greatest in the world AND amongst the most productive & stable. Need I mention Hong Kong, though it may not take long for the Red Chinese to foul it up, too, eh? Really, now, "MPEACHM" is probably one of the most progressive vanity-plates/bumper-stickers in existence. It's reflective of our desire to continue driving archaic vehicles like our Vanagons AND raising our children, free of wierd folk's "village" hopes like President Hillary's attempt to socialize the raising of children.
