21. Point 1: why is she wearing an upside-down cross, Second over-population isn't the problem,

the problem is we don't have the resources for a growing population, not enough clean water, or air or food or fuel. Land, yes there is enough land. That is what people think of when they think of over population. That is what I used to think when I looked around here in rural Arkansas and only saw 1 person for every 10 or 15 miles. Sure we could fit 1000 times more people here, could we feed them or give the clean water to drink, or provide fuel for their cars?

Nope.
