As long as we are kept feed, have our TV and electricty we are happy little slaves to the ways of those who get rich off of our backs.

When we have no food, no freedoms, no hope, then then will begin to change. I won't live to see it, nor will many of you, but one day over population, under production of food, no fuel, and oppressive laws will drive this nation into another civil war.

It has been written about in many books, and they all paint a very depressing picture for the future of this country and indeed the planet over the next 200 years. But your right Narf, interal vigilance is our only salvation. As long as we have hope we have something.

That the US would loose a Nuclear sub. We did not, but the Russians did.

Most of it was guess work based upon logical deductions. (And a lot of ... um .. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/rolleyes.gif leasure time mind expanding medicinal research.)

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">You may be surprised, but better child control in China and India, declining birth rate in developed countries and shift of the population from rural to urban areas in developing world (also lead to lesser childbirth) all indicate to the reversal of population growth. I'm not making his up. I got it from a reputable paper in New Scientist that predicts the XXI century will be the first century since XIV (black death pandemy) with fewer people at the end of it than at the beginning http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif And you say XX century with two world wars and all other stff was genocidal !

I don't know about any of you, but I'm not going to contribute to the population decline. I plan on still being around when the 22nd century roles on in. But hey, this is Canada, one of the least populous countries in the world. We need some more people.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Least populous in terms of population density. We're actually 36th in the world in terms of total population only.

These things are all very bothersome, yet we 20 years ago the thought of having cameras in stores, in the intersections, hidden at work, or hidden just about any where would have been cause for nation wide public alarm. Big Brother is wathcing now, and we accept it because we, the inocent, have nothing to fear if we are doing nothing wrong. I recall reading that it is the inocent that often made to pay and are the most exploited.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Keep in mind that the US alone could currently feed the entire population of the world continuously several times over, with only a portion of the arable land in the nation. This is not done, of course, because there is no profit in feeding people that have no money.

Now, grow food in other places in the world, and it would be possible to feed trillions of people. Modern farming techniques can grow huge amounts of food on small plots of land.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">that false!
uv is a source of skin cancer and thats a longer wavelength than xray!

uv still way shrter than radio, but its not xray or smaller. you cant be so sure of the dividing line. a simple study may be a good thing. [/QB]</font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">
