NO WONDER ITS SO CROWDED AT THE MALL

I found these graphs fascinating.

But not surprising.

It does show that we need to quit living so close together.

But what we really need is less people.

I have ranted on this before but when I was a kid and young adult there was incredible stress on the "population explosion". The bomb.

There was a lot tried here and there to get people to tie it off.

Failed.

The RCs don't want it, the biggest enemies of birth control. Other factors, mostly the agrarians who need bodies. The ignorant and exploited.

Only China took it to heart and to the system. But no one thinks they want that kind of tough love.

And the Chinese do have a flair for the cruel mandate.

But what about the cruelty of poverty and all the rest.

The population bomb went off a long time ago. Early death and disease and now pollution will do randomly and much more cruelly what we have failed to do ourselves.

And look at me. In the middle of that time and place with all the screaming going on, we had five kids, not one of whom I could imagine doing without.
