  Unfortunately

  Most of the comments are incredibly naive. You can't use "better city planning" to cope with a half billion people. Look at India or any other extremely overcrowded country.  And to say that these organizations have an "unnuanced understanding of the problems of population growth", I guess that would mean they aren't welcoming all the poor people that don't use family planning? Billions live in slums throughout the planet now, and that is what we will have extending for miles from each urban core. To say that we don't want that outcome as a country is selfish? I would hope that what little open space that is left, what little water resources that we have remaining, and the species that depend on those resources would be more important to "environmentalists" than making corporate America happy with an ongoing supply of cheap labor from corrupt countries.

  wic makes me sic

  It's bad enough that we're subsidizing people's bad reproductive choices, but here in Mesa Arizona the farmers market line is half illegal immigrants participating in the programme de wic(pregnant, of course, with an already large family of anchor babies as well) so we get to subsidize the Catholic church's call for more members. I will never spend another penny at a farmers market that is subsidized by wic. On Evidently, women, infants, and children in need don't deserve organic posted 1 year, 5 months ago 8 Responses

  smart growth my rear end

  There is no smart growth or sustainability when all my neighbors are having 5 kids and half the country is moving here. There will be "solutions" but as usual the solution (which is never mentioned by the politically correct) is less people. This place will be a true hell hole in 20 years and many of us would move now but because of the stupid conditions brought about by the same people who want "growth", we can't.

  the great outdoors kills neighbors cats

  Recently 2 very small cats were listed as missing in my neighborhood. As I walk my dogs in the morning I see a hawk swirling over our back yards. The ultimate revenge. Bird Eats Cat!On Umbra on cats and birds posted 2 years ago 72 Responses
