[Taxacom] New Year thoughts

[Bob Mesibov]

Hi, Ken.

I don't about the USA, but in some other Western countries there's serious interest in overpopulation. Australia has a Stable Population Party and a very active sustainable population activist group: http://www.population.org.au/  If you haven't seen it, there's also David Attenborough's 2009 BBC documentary 'How Many People Can Live on Planet Earth?'. This can be seen free in 6 parts on YouTube, starting here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LF15YAvT9G0  My only concern with it is that the title is asking the wrong question.

Cheers,
Bob
