   U.S. Inferior AgainWhile the many more civilized countries are now lowering their populations, that of the U.S. disgustingly continues to grow (like a cancer).  Go have all the sex you want right now - and later, too - but please use birth control and don't breed!

   the REAL issueThe real issue in the US is not so much our obscene population growth in terms of total population.  The United States may have a slightly higher population growth than Europe but it is still far less than in most Third World countries.  More relevant than the total population growth in the United States is how that population is managed.  The United States is using more of its natural resources than necessary, polluting more than it needs to, and is consuming land at a faster rate than it should.  Suburban sprawl is creating unhealthy communities and is almost completely responsible for the decline of American cities AND farmland.  Americans are more likely to drive larger cars, in fact more likely to drive period, than Europeans.  Overall I believe that the real issue is not that the United States is becoming overpopulated, it is that the United States uses more than its fair share of resources.  "Smarter" taxes to encourage public transit and decrease urban sprawl, increased investment in alternative energy research, and more global cooperation among developed countries to reduce environmental degradation are what is needed to reduce America's environmental problems.  It is the Third World that needs to worry about overPOPULATION.. America needs to worry about overCONSUMPTION.

   sex and popolation growthAs far as I understood, the core of high population growth problem tackles insofar the earth resources are not limitless. It seems to me that prejudice comes from confusion of sex and birth control. It's just a waste of time to discourage sex only to control population growth. We are born physical, our instincts urge for satisfaction, and regular sex is healthy. The question is only how to channel this sexual energy so that to come around an optimal balance in population growth.
