You seem to use the word 'fact' quite easily. What you call a fact I call an assumption. I don't agree with your assumption that there are too many people on the planet, and I don't believe you have any proof that there is. As far as resources go consider the recent history of energy: wood, then coal, hydro(as in) water wheals, Whale oil for light, kerosene for light, hydro(as in)damns for light and power, oil for power and as chemical stock, and our oil and gas reserves declined, so now we now frack, we also have nuclear, we have barely scratched the surface of wind, solar, tidal, wind driven water, resources. I'm afraid that you vastly underestimate the creativity and resource that is mankind.

It is hard to respond to your claim that "there are only so many financial resources", because it is so clearly false. Do you realize that your statement is akin to saying that there are only so many ideas? Do you realize that that economic gain is not a zero-sum game, and that our financial resource need not be a pie of static size to be divided, but that the pie can be made bigger?

Your 'defense'? of Inslee is a knee-slapper, please see http://www.piscatorialpursuits.com/forum...html#Post885112
