In his book, "THE FATES OF NATIONS", Paul Colinvaux wrote, " Liberty, in the Jeffersonian sense, cannot survive a continual packing-in of people. If our numbers continue to rise on a resource base that expands but little, the future inevitably holds ever greater restrictions on individual freedom."

 

U.S. Population Growing at Accelerating Rate

 

Our federal government tells us we have 300 million people in the U.S., but Vanderbilt University tells us that number has already exceeded 327 million.

 

It seems that the U.S. Census Bureau, within the U.S. Department of Commerce, has motivation from Congress and the Executive Branch to underreport population increases ­ especially in the realm of so-called ILLegal immigrants.

 

Once again, common sense rears its gut-check propensity as to the dilemma we face as a civilization by adding another 100 million people by 2040, or before.

 

In reality, we've all faced crowded situations where our freedom suffered limitations.  Have you ever seen the ladies standing in line for the toilet at a movie or ball game?  How about you standing 20-back in line at the movie box office with only 60 seconds before the show?  How about a dance floor so crowded you couldn't move?

 

Ever drive in bumper-to-bumper traffic with a crash scene up ahead?  How about visiting Yosemite National Park in the summer?  What about trying to get on a subway car at 5:15 PM in New York City?  Or, how about walking down the sidewalk at rush hour in NYC?  With greater numbers- everyone's freedom suffers limitations.

 

Is that loss-of-freedom necessary, or do we have options ?

 

As your freedoms diminish, your connection to natural processes degrades.  At the same time, your stress levels rise -- not to mention blood pressure and irritation.

 

As shown in many other historical illustrations, America's future can be wrecked by wrong decisions concerning population numbers.  In Colinvaux's book, he shows that beliefs such as "go forth and multiply without limits" create consequences counter to long term survival of humanity. He writes:

 

"Civilizations arise from the technical competence of the founders; rising numbers are merely the consequences of that competence as the civilization is able to feed more and more people.

 

Crowding impacts the well-off, who invest heavily in child-rearing, more than the poor, who have little to spend on children.

 

Trade, often seen as necessary to cope with growth, is not a solution at all; in reality it is a primary cause of growth, robbing nations and people of self-reliance.

 

Repression is the elites' means of preventing the middle class from sharing in the benefits largely created by the middle class. Revolutions arise from disaffected middle classes determined to seize their rightful due."

 

Nature gives us great examples. Most Americans have read about deer-herd populations 'crashing' from too many animals without enough grassland to feed them.  As deer begin to starve, they lose their health, freedom and choices. However, they are wild-animals, which means they die from nature's consequences brought about by overloading the carrying capacity of the land. Encroachment from civilization doesn't help.

 

What is the difference for humans ?

 

Before farming and the Industrial Revolution, we couldn't produce enough food to feed our growing populations. In 1850, the world population didn't add up to one billion people in more than 5,000 years of humanity.  After the tractor arrived, within 100 years, we've reached 6.6 billion.  Perhaps we're much too clever for our own long term good?

 

Colinvaux hammers readers' minds with, "If social policy promotes unconstrained growth of the poor classes- whether by natural increase or immigration- the effect will be to squeeze out those whose ability created the standard of living that benefited all."

 

He shows that ecology's first law might be written:  "All poverty is caused by continued unchecked population growth.  Yet a noisy propaganda denies that rising populations cause poverty.  We are told by most eminent politicians and international experts that the rising numbers, far from being a cause of poverty, are in fact a result of poverty."

 

Colinvaux continues, "Three kinds of assumptions have been made in recent years suggesting that our population growth will stop by itself from some inner dynamic of its own.  These assertions have had very wide publicity, for they seem to say that the population problem will go away on its own.  The assertions stand in grave error."

 

What are those assertions ?

 

v Populations stop growing as people become wealthy, and

 

v Recent explosive growth in world population has been due to medical advances and will go away as people adapt, and

 

v Human population is now at the inflection point, at which numbers will level off as in other kinds of animal, remaining stationary thereafter.

 

He said, "All three assertions violate scientific principles and assume that magic is at work in the control of numbers of all livings things."

 

It matters little whether you remain silent as to political correctness, or quiet because you don't want to get involved -- or feel that it will work itself out on its own.  Please remember, we are NOT a herd of wild-deer. The fact is, humanity stepped out of the circle of nature at some point in its progress to become thinking beings.  We've innovated to sidestep diseases, carrying capacity, even wars -- as we've grown to 6.6 billion.

 

How long will this unnaturally stimulated growth continue ?

 

As America adds another 100 million, then another 100 million, and yet again, another 100 million- serious natural consequences await us.  Those consequences already manifest for much of humanity as you've seen throughout this series.  Yet, we close our eyes and deny ­ and persist in our arrogance that we can defy nature.

 

We cannot -- and that will become more apparent and more realized in the next 10, 20 and 30 years.  Why?

 

As our numbers increase, our freedoms decrease.

 

The more we increase, the more freedom decreases in every aspect of our lives. Examples abound. Where your commute a few years ago was 15 minutes, it's now 30. Soon, it will be 45 minutes.

 

You can think of a dozen more examples- especially if you live in Los Angeles.

 

Sooner than you might think, our growing population numbers will boil beyond our ability to stop this thing called overpopulation.  We can deny it, ignore it, suppress it and even fool ourselves for a few more decades- at the most.   Not really!

 

Every year that passes finds us more and more inextricably connected to a horrible outcome. We're already in so much trouble, we may not survive this thing. Yes, its that serious. Last minute 'corrections' don't work when a 'system' has momentum. It takes time-and-distance to turn the Queen Mary.

 

We are ignoring historical lessons and warnings

 

At some point, nature will deal with us -- harshly and in large numbers.

 

Civil war is highly likely. As we fight for resources, beg for water, pray for less

traffic and all other consequences of too many people -- we'll wonder how we got into this predicament.

 

We could choose another more intelligent path.

 

We don't have to be the Titanic as to the course of our civilization.  As this "100 Million Added People" series winds down, you will be given straight-forward solutions to change course.

 

The Time Has Come to Take Action -- NOW

 

The choices are yours to make. You can do something or nothing.  If you do nothing, your kids will be faced with the consequences of your inaction.

 

Take the time now to get smart, before that choice is too late. 

What you can do for a better future for your country:

A republican form of government is not a spectator sport. It means you must jump in, roll up you sleeves and take personal and collective action. Of course, you could let a dictator take over and do everything for you, but that path would give you Cuba, China, North Korea and other unsavory examples.

We must 'sour the milk.' Bring out your points in the call:

1. America cannot support another 100 million people added to our country in 34 years, i.e., water crisis, resource depletion, air pollution, gridlock, loss of quality of life, etc.

2. America cannot support lawbreakers being given citizenship.

3. America must maintain our English language.

4. America wants only legal immigrants who play by the rules and speak English.

5. America's working poor deserve a chance at jobs taken by illegals.

6. America already has too many people and I support a 10 year moratorium on all immigration.

7. Americans must maintain our schools for our children.

8. We can no longer tolerate 350,000 birthright citizens (anchor babies) annually that subtract from our own citizens.

9. Attrition through enforcement by stopping their ability to wire money home, obtain rental housing and jobs.

10. An amnesty failed in 1986, and it will only be worse today. We're being displaced out of our jobs and out of our own country. Call with relentless and never-give-up passion.

To reduce illegal aliens in your community, you may follow the course of action by Mayor Louis Barletta of Hazelton, PA. He offers a bomb proof ordinance that takes business licenses away from those who hire illegals. He legally halts landlords from renting to illegals. Without work and without housing, illegals cannot stay in your community. Check out his website for instructions: www.SmallTownDefenders.com/public/node/6
