The more the merrier?

"By 2053, the United Nations projects that there will be more than 9 billion people on the planet, thanks to improvements in healthcare, disease eradication, and economic development." -Thomas Friedman

I knew that the world had a few too many people but this is an astounding number. The world is already overpopulated and in 40 years it will be 150% more populated. America has to do something to prevent this now. I know that preventing disease and infection is important, but 9 billion people is a little bit out of hand. We need to change our ways sooner than later.

"If we don't halt population growth with justice and compassion, it will be done for us by nature, brutally and without pity - and will leave a ravaged world." - Dr. Henry W. Kendall
