But not a statistic, You can research the latest projections of the Bureau of
the Census on the web, and find the worst countries for overpopulation are not
Catholic, they are India, most of Asia, and parts of Africa.
BHut you knew that, you just want to blame the Pope for something, to pump
yourself up, don't you, Chris?

In our lifespan? Is that our two total lifespans added, or what? And we are
not 6billion, we are an estimated 5,951,297,626, but the numbers mean nothing
without knowing the largest stable population the Earth will support with
proper managment. My guess is 50 billion.

But none of it caused by Catholics, Chris. Try to stay on topic.

Yes, a hard core Liberal one. Or is it against the code of Liberals to own
stock?

Your opinions amuse me more than confuse me, Chris.

I'm fine right now, Chris, and so is Colorado. We're living high on the hog.
So where does Catholicism fit in to your ecosystem model, and why is its
impact on population and development not as bad as non Catholic ones?

It's very practical, just not practiced, especially in less developed
countries where people have nothing.

Mostly the same, only I am looking past my own prejudices. You?

But how can you really mean it when you would limit free speech of a
religious nature? You are just like the Church was hundreds of years ago,
ready to limit the rights of those you don't agree with, hardly what I would
call a "radical on personal liberties".

Being a radical on personal liberties again?

Everybody has a religion, even if it is agnostic. What is your religion,
Chris?
