What good is steady economic growth of 5% (14 years doubling time)? Or even modest 2% (35 yers doubling time)?
Why is exponential economic growth considered good and desirable?

and, considering that 99% of posters to DU believe FERVENTLY that exponential economic growth (ie. exponential growth of consumption) is a good thing and vote fervently for the other candidate who worships exponential economic growth and promises to do that better than the other candidate...
...we "mustn't" anything, except to face the consequenses of our insatiable greed.

I'm another out there who **really** would appreciate titles and sources vs a link. The 'tubes are blocked a LOT of places. Sometimes with a title I can search and get close to the info or a google video (not blocked for whatever twisted reasons here).
Sounds like a great video. The ONLY reason we have been able to support as many people is due to **cheap** energy. Our whole aggressive, greedy, "boundless", attitude is due to that drug.

13. Haven’t you heard? There is no need to worry about over population, |
|
because the neo-cons have a solution. Yes that is true, it’s called the rapture. And to make sure the rapture comes sooner rather than later they will try to get us into a war with Iran and Russia. The upside to this plan is that in the event there is no rapture, a nuclear holocaust will ensure total extinction of all life on the planet. So you see, there is nothing to worry about, because when there is no life, there will be no over population…

12. When the Mega Famine hits...it will be road kill, the zoos', the Morman homes, etc |
|
Anarchy, guns will rule until ammo runs out, then machettes, clubs, spears, sling shots, trebuchets, down to rock throwing...
Unless, we have wise leaders to lead us outta the friggen desert....
The Planet is outta balance for 6.7 billion Humans ...much less 9 Billion in 3 years
also, what the hell we doing about Climate change? So far band aids....we need a comprehensive plan...but what do we have? Nada....
are we gonna wait till Fla is under water?

14. band aids and KKKool-aids is all the GOPers ever have to offer. |

They pull the covers over their pointy heads so the monster can't get them, but that shit only works with the monsters in a childish dream.
Purple Heart band-aids were okay for John Kerry so they should hand McVeigh...err...McCain a box of them and tell him thank you for your service Timothy...err...Jon, time to just "Move On" to the back of the mouldy bus with the rest of the vets you helped the GOP forget about.
Edit...I get McCain and McVeigh mixed up sometimes they sound so much alike.

17. Things are tough all over...for example... |
|
A farmer had five female pigs. Times were hard, so he decided to take them to the county fair and sell them.
At the fair, he met another farmer who owned five male pigs. After talking a bit, they decided to mate the pigs and split everything 50/50.
The farmers lived sixty miles apart. So they agreed to drive thirty miles each, and find a field in which to let the pigs mate. The first morning, the farmer with the female pigs got up at 5 A.M, loaded the pigs into the family station wagon, which was the only vehicle he had, and drove the thirty miles.
While the pigs were mating, he asked the other farmer, 'How will I know if they are pregnant?'
The other farmer replied, 'If they're lying in the grass in the
Morning, they're pregnant. If they're in the mud, they're not.'
The next morning the pigs were rolling in the mud. So he hosed them off, loaded them into the family station wagon again and proceeded to try again. This continued each morning for more than a week.
The next morning he was too tired to get out of bed. He called to his wife, 'Honey, please look outside and tell me whether the pigs are in the mud or in the grass.'
'Neither,' yelled his wife, 'they're in the station wagon and one of them is honking the horn.'
Sounds like RE-Piggies to me!

19. We would approximately 50 million more mouths to feed in the USA |
|
Our population would be close to 340,000,000 instead of the 290,000,000 we now have...
