3 quick examples

1) the Irish Potato Famine - was it 18 Million people left the area for NEW PLACES - how many died?

2) Easter Island - they were trapped on the island.

3) Civilisations in Central America - destroyed their ecology, ran out of food, left the area for NEW PLACES...

The problem is that there are fewer and fewer NEW PLACES on earth - I heard that Bush is now going to encourage NASA to place a permanent settlement on the moon - ain't no food there at the moment...
