Rick:
The point remains the same. Without illness and/or death, we
overpopulate the earth and die anyway. Was disease created as a form of
population control? I don't know, I didn't create it, I am just
guessing. I can think of no other good use for it. No, I don't like it,
no, I am not suggesting giving up on the thought of peace. I am just
pointing out a fact. Death and misery is NOT a very poor method of
population control - it works. It is just not a pleasant method. Again,
I am not PROMOTING it - please don't shoot me for stating what appears
to me to be a fact. :)

 Do I see the need for war? Think about this:

What if all the heroism, sacrifice, determination, passion, desparate
action, massive investment, belief, cooperation and togetherness that
went into blowing things up and killing people all over the world were
instead put into things like educating people to improve their own
lives, healing the sick, feeding the starving children, teaching
people that there are opportuinities beyond what their lot in life
seems to have prescribed for them?

You mean I'm supposed to set aside any hope of peace, and set out to
cull some unfortunates, so that there's more room for the next load of
unfortunates, and so on forever? ...

Was disease created as a form of population control? Was the smallpox
and measles that decimated some native tribes justified as a means of
making more room for the rest of us?

Causing death and misery is a very poor method of population control,
almost as bad as the rhythm method.
