The world's overpopulation is pretty obvious to everyone, right? RIGHT?! Man, I would think that with technology increasingly replacing the need for manual labor, wouldn't a lower population in a country that is trying desperately to industrialize and become another "Tiger" be beneficial to the national economy? The funniest thing to me is that countries like India or China with TREMENDOUS overpopulation problems haven't yet bitch-slapped Singapore for this shit. ____________________________________________________________ Find what you are looking for with the Lycos Yellow Pages http://r.lycos.com/r/yp_emailfooter/http://yellowpages.lycos.com/default.asp?SRC=lycos10 _______________________________________________ heads mailing list [email protected] http://ballistichelmet.org/mailman/listinfo/heads/ http://ballistichelmet.org/donate/
