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".
