"Go forth and multiply" Gods cultural mandate will lead to our extinction. Here lies the primary cause of ALL the environmental breakdowns on this planet. Any and all ecological collapses can be traced back to this primary one. I have written and spoke about this many times, yet it falls on deaf ears and blind eyes. If you and your spouse were the proud parents of 5 children, and because of that "bounty", you are now experiencing great hardships in the sustenance of those children, Would you crawl into bed, after sadly having to tuck those children in while crying from hunger and disease(due to weaken immune systems from malnutrition) then gaze loving into each others eyes and begin love making without birth control concerns? I most desperately think not! Yet, that is exactly what is taking place in every single household in your neighborhood and every neighborhood around the globe!...... I'll say it once more, we have reached a population of close to 7 BILLION. Our House(planet) CAN NOT SUPPORT THOSE ALL READY HERE. WHY THEN WILL WE ALLOW THE BIRTHS OF ANOTHER EST 75 MILLION MORE MOUTHS TO FEED THIS YEAR. AND NEXT....? We have gone so far past the "Tipping point" (that's the point when an ecosystem can no longer sustain life- due the shear number.) Scientists calculate that number to be around 3.5 Billion. We are depleting every single renewable resource at an alarming and suicidal rate! OUR "FUCKING" is "FUCKING" everything up! Tell your friends, children, and neighbors to ceased and desist immediately until our house can take care of the ones all ready living in it!.............................I would like to ask, for those who may not have, to PLEASE read. And for those who have, I would ask to PLEASE reread, my post here in Cosmic Painter called, "A SPOON FULL OF SUGAR" not this time! See why, disease is so important to the overall stength and survival of any living organism. The point i made and still make is that all of our problems can be traced back to this very one. Think of our planet with 2 billion today instead of 7 billion. Now, tell me what problems just disappeared with those additional 5 billion? I guess it would be much easier to list the problems left, but I can't think of any, except maybe one, Instead of Exxon-Mobil making a 40 billion dollar profit this year,they would have to scrape by with only around 15 billion!!!! There are many forces working against any hope of a true "social engineering" plan being put into action. They consist of the Church, primarily the Catholic church, and it's world wide preaching the "Right to Life" in it's never ending attempt to abolish both abortions and birth control. I tried to get the total number of abortions ever carried out , but many early abortions were not exactly done mainstream, so this number is only an approximation. (50 million) Now, had those not been carried out it would be safe to say that we would have another couple hundred million people around today competing for the same limited resources. Now, take the marvels of modern medicine.....I have asked this question before and been astounded at peoples response. If a pharmaceutical co. was to develop a "Super Pill" that could cure all diseases(you know they are always searching and would gladly like to start dispensing(selling) that "cure all"-all of course for the sake of mankind...) would you be in favor of the development and distribution? To many of those I ask say of course! That is the problem, an answer without really thinking or knowing the ramifications. Lets say, they found that pill right before the "Black Plague" that would eventually kill off half of Eourope(500,000 million). Not to mention the billions killed by disease since that time. Well, you and I would not be here today, nor would anyone because what we are experiencing today with the population at 7 billion. We would now stand somewhere and I say somewhere around 50 billion!!!!!!! WHAT WOULD LIFE LOOK LIKE ON EARTH WITH 50 BILLION PEOPLE? THATS A TRICK QUESTION BECAUSE IT WOULDN'T EXSIST!!!!!!! Please tell me somebody out there gets just a little bit of what im trying to get across! PACHA MAMA, MotherEarth, Mother Nature and yes even G-O-D are working, even as we sit here , on viruses that mutate faster than we could ever expect to our brilliant scientific community to compete with. It's our decision and our G-O-D given right to "free will" that must be excersised if there is to be ANY and i mean ANY "hope"! Please notify the Catholic church and demand they uphold the that same "Righ to life" because their actions are denying you, your children and all of mankind the "right to future Life"

Is there a hole in the universe? by Jacob Silverman
Inside This Article 1. Is there a hole in the universe? 2. Dark Energy and Mapping the Universe 3. Lots More Information 4. See all Astronomy articles In August 2007, scientists from the University of Minnesota published an astonishing finding in the Astrophysical Journal. The universe, they declared, had a hole in it -- a hole far bigger than anything scientists have ever seen or expected. This "hole" spans almost one billion light years and is six to 10 billion light years from Earth, in the Eridanus constellation [source: Daily Tech]. (For reference, one light year measures about six trillion miles.)
Outer Space Image Gallery
Bill Saxton, NRAO/AUI/NSF, NASA This picture depicts the spread of cosmic microwave background radiation, beginning with the universe just after the big bang (left), spreading through the universe's many galaxies, clusters and voids (center), and ending with a recent CMB map. In the giant void, the WMAP satellite (top left) detects a cold spot while the VLA radio telescope (bottom left) sees fewer galaxies. See more outer space images.
What makes this vast area of the universe a hole? The area shows almost no signs of cosmic matter, meaning no stars, planets, solar systems or clouds of cosmic dust. Researchers couldn't even find dark matter, which is invisible but measurable by its gravitational pull. There were also no signs of black holes that might have gobbled up the matter once present in the region.
The hole was initially detected by a NASA program studying the spread of radiation emitted from the Big Bang, which scientists believe spawned our universe. It was then further examined using information gleaned from the Very Large Array (VLA) telescope, used in the NRAO VLA Sky Survey Project to study large sections of the visible sky.
One researcher described the find as "not normal," going against computer simulations and past studies [source: Yahoo News]. Other such holes, also known as voids, have been found before, but this find is by far the largest. Other voids amount to around 1/1000th the size of this one, while scientists once observed a void as close as two million light years away -- practically down the street in cosmic terms [source: CNN.com].
Astronomer Brent Tully told the Associated Press that galactic voids in all likelihood develop because regions of space with high mass pull matter from less massive areas [source: CNN.com]. Over billions of years, a region can lose most of its mass to a massive neighbor. In the case of this giant void, further studies may reveal some matter in the region, but it would still be far less than what is found in "normal" parts of space.
Earlier we said that the void was first discovered through a NASA program examining radiation stemming from the Big Bang. On the next page, we'll take a closer look at that program and how scientists can look far back into the universe's history -- almost to its beginnings -- in order to make discoveries like this one.

No, it could be that it misplaced you though........another "hole" for man to spend hours and hours, researching, wondering about, and of course probing, only to realize that to fully comprehend, we must "insert" ouselves. Mans life can actually be explained with a few "Holy" incounters. It all started when we feverishily fight for nine months to get out of a hole.....only to spend the rest of our lives trying to regain entrance to that same hole!

Misty-Its a much harder piece, but maybe thats what is needed to get point across to a population of selfish, apathetic, hippo critcial and "sleepliving" individuals.?????
Is it crazy to think in the foreseeable future nations mandating the limit of children one family may have. It's been done before and I would not rule it out. This would not only help but it would also put a stop to the 5 babies, 5 different babies Daddies, and one single mother scenario. In an ideal world I'd love to see families of all sizes but in any case there are always extremes. I wouldn't put it past the gov in the future to add products to our food that would secretly sterilize certain populations, conspiracy, conspiracy.. Either way the problem will not resolve itself with on it's own and leave a habitable answer. Hopefully before that happens we get hit by an unseen meteor and cease to exist...
I could not agree with you more. I am old enough to remember when women and men did not have such a thing as birth control pills and other devices or means to prevent pregnancy. In the 1960's, 70's, even 80's there were people and organizations predicting exactly what you have written about. And were having to fight for the right to offer women in Africa and India to be given BC pills with bracelets or necklaces with 28 beads on them so they could understand and keep up with how to use them.
There was huge opposition to this by churches and even governments. And along comes another generation who take so much for granted and don't know or want to know who or what was sacrificed or done for them to enjoy the kind of life they have.
Your prediction is already true for China. The pollution where they plan to have the Olympics is so bad, automobiles have to use their headlights to drive in the daytime. You can go on the internet and check out the websites of too, too many state health departments to find that they only birth control information they offer is abstinence, thanks to the Bushies.
I attempt to live and see myself as a nonbiased person, but I just saw Oprah showcasing the Osmonds. The family began in the 1940's with two people falling in love and living in a religion where birth control was forbidden by their church. Today, 58 years later these two people have over 100 descendants.

Good Morning, SO VERY SAD AND TRUE, YOU'VE HIT THE NAIL ON THE HEAD! I'VE GOT LOTS OF WORK BEFORE I'M DEAD AND IT'S BECAUSE OF PEOPLE JUST LIKE YOU, THAT I DO WHAT I DO......LUNABLU! "OSMONDS" 100 chilren......"NSS DOOM"? NO,CAUSES IT!
Many Blogstream members are there
already! Quotes from members: "It's like blog lite!" -- "I like the instant
gratification!" -- "Stop spectating, get in the game!"
If you have not joined in, you are really missing out!
