Ron - Let's just say your experiences have been different than mine.

                     You're right when you make the observation that I see religion as a serious obstacle for perserving the planet, and as much as I hate to see it, the concept of a family farm in America is virtually a thing of the past. I suspect the rest of the world is destined to shortly follow. Still, I think the modern menace of runaway population growth is pretty much a product of ignorance.

                     I've suggested solutions, but it's hard to get people to listen. There might be other solutions, but nobody seems much interested in those either.

                     I think we'll just have to wait and see how things work out.
