Now you're just grasping at straws. :)

The RCC isn't my religion of choice, but I don'r rhink it is the cause
for all things bad in the world. Overpopulation is the result of too
many people and not enough predation in the system. People like to
have sex, and the direct result of that unless you make birth control
or abortion mandatory is that the population is going to explode.

I predict that in the next 20 years, China will stop being so polite
about its expansionist policies and will start the next major war,
perhaps the 'Big One' unless they start enforcing totalitarian
measures for population control.
