Another very good question. I was originally going to say that dying would be a plus since one would be done with this stinking world, but then I thought, MAYBE with 2 billion people life would be slightly more bearable. Then I remembered the problem is in MY head so it doesn't matter whether 6 billion people annoy me or only 2 billion. I recently saw a quote from a European philosopher which basically said, although in very different words, "once you're born, you're screwed". -- Disagreements and the usual insults expected and welcomed.
