Birth Rate

Steve King (a representative from Iowa) thinks that if we cover birth control and allow our birth rate fall below our replacement rate (death rate) then we are a "dying civilization".

Perhaps Steve has never heard of a diet.

Right now we are not anywhere near risk of being a "dying civilization". The population of humans on earth is about 70,000 times too many people (population we should have: ~100,000 divided by the population we do have: ~ 7 billion.) I think that we just need to go on a diet. Otherwise we are liable to die of congestive heart failure. Has anyone ever been so obese that their own weight crushed the life out of them like a trash compacter? That will be the fate of our species.
