Glad I have a plan, hope you guys do.

I don't know, friend. I once thought exactly the same as your OP suggests...
But while driving home from work today, I noticed the same rush hour traffic I have for decades. The wal-mart super centers are as crowded as ever, and the expensive steakhouses are maxed out.
It makes me honestly wonder. Maybe its US. Maybe 'we' on here---or some of us--- are suffering from net-overload and a little paranoia. I'm very tempted to unplug a while. I suspect some of us on here might share a sort of collective, semi-subjective world view that is grimmer and darker by far than the reality in our towns and neighborhoods.
Maybe we are the sheep, and the internet is our shepherd?
It's food for thought anyway.

The article is just a lot of opinion. But I tend to agree with the idea that the world is overpopulated. Food shortage should help reduce over time.
Seems like a workable plan, no?

It certainly is Bonco - but would you like to see it happen to those you love? From your comment, I can only assume that you are single and have never gone hungry.
Think about it Bonco - Think about how much the elites are hording - unimaginable amounts and along with their grip on coperate business and banking that stops the natural flow of food/imports/exports - their really is no need for it except ofcourse their needs.

What I am saying is all opinion based (just so you know):
To be honest I usually agree with the Elites, a fellow person at the same level as class that my family comes from would sell us out in a second. That is the problem, the lower classes have been conditioned to loathe each other, as well as develop behaviours that create large divides among each other.
Does it bother me that people will suffer? I would do everything in my power to take care of the people I care about.
The alternative is to let misguided no-nothings breed rampantly with no regard for anything but the latest thing on YouTube.
Perhaps you are right by blaming the upper echelons of society, but at the same time, regular people have let this happen by giving up critical thinking as an attribute. I would say the school system supports the dumbing down of the population, but at the end of the day, everyone has to think for themselves.
Here's to people dying off leaving more room for survivors.

Take ten people, put them in a room, take away everyday living comforts, and you will see. That is the true test of a person. People don't really know themselves.
Anyone been in war knows exactly what I'm talking about.
The nature of the world is determined by human nature. The point is that as people we want to believe in the possibility of a perfect world. What is more likely is that we may be able to change the world we live in, but we cannot discount human nature.
- it is called being human.

Exactly, I don't think most people really knows what it means to be human.
You need to put everything into perspective, every action committed by human beings in the past few thousand years lives inside all of us. It's just a matter of bringing it out, or when pressure or stress brings it out.
You could do studies on this matter but I would presume you would be breaking a few human rights conventions.
That's why I say people in war are most likely to understand what I'm talking about, and I imagine it wouldn't bring back good memories.
