Any out-of-control population is a pestilence to other populations,
except those is symbiosis.   The problems caused by human
overpopulation are hard to see.  If you don't read about them,
you're in the dark.  In order to be in harmony with Nature, we
should have to endure our natural enemies, just as all other
populations do.   A convenient place to start would be to stop
suppressing SARS, allowing it to spread unchecked,
and see how that goes.

A SARS pandemic would be much more destabilizing to 
non-democratic regimes than to democracies, because 
those regimes enjoy little popular support.  It would also 
come down hard on the biggest troublemakers outside 
of politics, practicing alcoholics and addicts, because of
their weakened condition.
