Gross Overpopulation Is One Issue That Is Suicide For Any Politician To Address. We Are In Crisis.

[Captain Stern]

37. No, it isn't.

You can make a good argument that we use too much of the world's resources, but you can't make a good argument for our country being overpopulated.

Those are two different things.

If a politician here made world population control an issue, unfortunately there would be a lot of people that would sign on....especially since a huge portion of that growth is happening in Africa. Can you think of any politicians here who might be in favor of curbing African population growth? I think I can.

Now, if a politician here wanted to commit political suicide, he/she should tackle the other issue that you raised. They should make it part of their policy to force us to consume less stuff.

If they did that, their campaign would be over fast....no matter what letter they had next to their name.
