    I am extremely concerned with the trends that I see with regard to the depletion of natural resouces (degradation of our water, air and soil), and the commercally orchastrated destruction of our culture -- and the minds of the up and comers. When it gets to much, I turn off my TV crack a bottle of wine, talk with friends and family and my sanity returns....

    Inside of all of this I am at a point in my life where I am ready to dedicate my working days to improving the world. I demand of myself that this be done in a strategic way. That is to say, fixing the system rather than working on the broken parts that it is spitting out. Not to say that working on the broken parts is not wonderful work, as my heart is there -- my mind and soul demand a more fulcrum directed energy.

    I see the key to starting the fix of all systems being the repair government. Much of our tax money is being wasted, and as we see the financial challenges of poverty, terrorism/security, an aging population, rising healthcare costs, aging infrastructure, oil reserve decline, etc -- we can not afford to waste anything.

    So what is my point? My point is that we have a corrupt political system that requires politicans to focus more on raising money than solving problems. This means we need a new campaign finance system --->

    Thoughts?

    the announcment part is that I am inviting folks that are interested in this topic to get in touch. my first project is to write and produce an piece similar to www.themeatrix.com to educate folks on the vital nature of campaign finance reform -- and ask them to be willing to collect signatures in their state to drive a ballot initiative for the public financing of political campaigns like they have in arizona, maine, nj, and other states...

    Send me your email -- and I will include you in updates -- and in a collaborative site that www.linkify.com is going to set-up for us...

    Well, humanities future really depends upon the way we're going to handle things from now on. If we contiue like we do now, the earth will be dead within 100 years. If not by pollution, then by an atomic war. We have to improve real fast, and that's why I'm not trying to hurt the enviroment.

    We just need to all work together on this, only then we can save the earth.

    Let's say population is an exponential graph, like it really is. A graph of that nature usualy has no decline like a parabola, but of course Humans aren't numbers and will eventually decrease or level off in populatin.

    The human population will continue to increase but eventually it will be forced to decrease as it nears carrying capacity. This of course depends on the standard of living of humans. American lifestyles cannot be sustained without serious damage to the environment. The earth has limited resources so this is just common sense.
    I enjoyed the link you provided too, the "Meatrix". Very true, so many people refuse to acknowledge the sick practices of the meat industry. In regards to the origin of their meat products, they prefer to think only as far as the grocery store, never beyond, where the truth is far too disturbing.

    Just a minute

    The title of this thread is “how to fix/heal the USA” but the poll is “will humans survive to the year 3000”

    So does that mean that beaferreal thinks that the only humans on the planet are living in the USA or that the USA is the biggest threat (or factor) in human beings surviving to the year 3000?

    That's what the globalists want you to believe. That's why they fund all the major eugenics studies (ie: the UN Population Fund and the Club of Rome). If you look at where all this rhetoric is coming from, it's people like Henry Kissinger and the Rockefellers, who through their foundations fund all these phony "environmentalist" organizations that disseminate this information to people who will readily believe it.

    So when they start killing people off, saying it's because "the world is too crowded" (which is a lie), you would be in support of that?

    Actually, they won't tell us. What they'll do is release a plague or something and everyone will believe that it's just some "natural occurance."

    I am really surprised at this response, considering you are against abortion (as am I).

    How many people are in the world PR? What countries have the highest population problems? With people rising faster than natural resources, plants, and other animals we won't be able to survive unless we choose to go to cannibalism.

    Population problems aren't really global...the US has a pretty low population considering how big it is, Europe is actually going to be losing population over the next decades and will need to attract immigrants to keep their infrastructure running,.

    There are only certain areas in Africa and Asia that are really headed for population problems, and in those areas I suspect that disease and starvation will be a problem....I really don't see any type of crisis in the western world...

    Just look at all the farm subsities etc....we are paying farmers not to plant food....I suspect that we could raise world food production drastically if we wanted to.

    An increase in food production is an increase in population... just not neccesarily in the place with the food increase... maybe then as time continues the subsities will get this planet away from almost 7 billion people who use enough resources for 20 billion.

    My info is derived from professors who are informed in ecology and the environment. The science behind overpopulation is sound. I don't doubt what you say about the elites view on this, but I definitely accept that the earth can only support so many living beings. We can continue to populate, but it will be at the expense of the environment (which includes all other living things). That is what I'm against. I think we should find ways to live sustainably, it can be done. But I suspect people will be reluctant to do so.


    All I did was state a fact. There was no opinion involved. Of course I wouldn't support that. I prefer a change in the standard of living or a sustainable standard of living that doesn't necessarily have to be lower than the ave. American's. Otherwise perhaps a reduction in the birthrate.

    I don't know what one has to do with the other. I'm against the killing of humans and never advocated it in my response. I did advocate a vegetarian diet (which would allow more humans to inhabit the earth with less damage to the planet). I would like to see people lessen their ecological footprint.
    I hope we can arrive at a sustainable population level. If our population continues to rise, the environment suffers. That is a fact.

    Um... actually vegetarinism really isn't that much better. You strip away plants that animals eat and until the animals return to a new size for that you will be forcing a well amout of animals to die. With omni at least you can help keep the two populations at a more equalistic balance.

    if humans are around by 3000 and havnt already opened up place for population in space, it would have to mean humanity took a few wierd turns i recon. they HAVE to be able to do it by then.
