Wildlife is dying out due to habitat destruction, overhunting, toxic pollution, invasion by alien species and climate change. But the ultimate cause of all of these factors is “human overpopulation and continued population growth, and overconsumption, especially by the rich”, say the scientists, who include Prof Paul Ehrlich, at Stanford University in the US, whose 1968 book The Population Bomb is a seminal, if controversial, work.

“The serious warning in our paper needs to be heeded because civilisation depends utterly on the plants, animals, and microorganisms of Earth that supply it with essential ecosystem services ranging from crop pollination and protection to supplying food from the sea and maintaining a livable climate,” Ehrlich told the Guardian. Other ecosystem services include clean air and water.

Yes, that's 'ZACTLY what I meant...Oh wait, I mean that other thing.
I was just returning the "favor" of deliberately misrepresenting what you said, so don't complain. You don't even recognize what you yourself just did when it's returned to you. Apparently, your (mistaken) sense of superiority has left you blind to your own flaws.

Make voting and being a citizen something that has to be studied for and worked for and you have to prove yourself a human being
And you think YOU'D be allowed to vote??? You sound like one of those self-righteous who believes that THEY'RE going up to heaven when the rapture comes; personally I wonder if you'd even make it on the list because I would imagine that your hatred for most people would disqualify you.

As long as you insist that everything is the Republicans'/ Democrats' fault, then you fail to grasp the REAL problem with American politics.

So, can we now start talking about how we're going to FIX this "evil Empire" problem, instead of patting ourselves on the back about how smart we are?

First, we make sure Obama is out of office and Hillary doesn't get elected and our next president is a Russian lapdog, then...

Sooooo Very Ironical!

Sorry *gasp* please tell us your ideas... My only stipulation is that they aren't pie in the sky ideas. "Wouldn't it be great if our breakfast cereal made us smarter??"

Real practical possible options that deal with TODAY and not 40 years ago.
