Seems that the difference in our views can be summarized by saying, I have

you think are not overpopulated? and what your definition of overpopulated

This is a good discussion, and I think it should continue, but it is
way off-topic here and perhaps we should move it elsewhere.

Yes, I'm a bit (tiny bit!) radical on population... My utopian society
is about the smallest that anyone would ever consider.

I don't think it is a case of "we can make it work" but a case of "If
we control our population, then some of the problems we have today
will cease to be problems".

You see a happy future, I'm a bit more pessimistic however.

Sorry about the liong delay... been away for the holidays. I don't see much
need to move the discussion elsewhere since this group often has political
and non-techie discussions... just let me know which newsgroup you move to
if you should so decide...

I more realist I think than either optimist/pessimist categories--ie
somethings pessimistic, something optimistic.
