Oh good grief, Little Hawk. Listen to yourself: you fit that profile to a scary T.

People/Mudcatters who point out the disastrous path that humankind is following do not exempt themselves from that. Stabilizing the global population is not possible without intervention of some sort whether it's disease or some other calamity. You/We can greatly reduce the rate of live births but 7 billion people, of whom at least two-thirds are producing offspring- well, you're going to end up with many more people on the planet than if there were a similar rate among a population of, say, 6 billion.

As for "...this planet is quite capable of supporting the present population and giving a good life to everyone and NOT destroying the ecosphere...IF we were not disunited and devoted to war, exploitation, greed, and ruthless competition."

Sadly, if we had no wars we'd have even more people of breeding age.
