33. Try running for president on that platform. I love that!
I had a long discussion this morning about how to bring this issue into the foreground. And your sentence kept coming to my mind. The guy I was talking to is going on 85 years old. He's one of the few who actually see and understand this subject. He said that we need to get people just as fearful as Bush's fear program over so-called terrorism.

I mentioned making this into a movie. And then your sentence popped up. Who cares? Who really is interested in this stupid subject? It's about as exciting as going to church.

I'm going to write Obama's staff. I was on a bike ride the other day, and a local doctor piped up about population. I was stunned. I'll be contacting him. Maybe we can open people's eyes to this dilemma of growth. It's not even a dilemma. It's an impossible situation. One last thought, nothing lasts forever. So I can't save the planet. It's for me. I'm doing this so I can live without the depression and hatred I've had for so long. And maybe even to help out this planet.

Or something... :) Sometimes strong feelings lead somewhere other than the expected.
