I wonder if anyone has a view with regard to the effect our population level is having on the plant and animal kingdoms?

You can at least clarify your words. What is it you were really trying to say. I asked for clarification. It seems you do not wish to be forth coming. My guess is that I was right that you deliberately obfuscated them because you knew you were talking nonsense.
I suggested we view health care by population growth.
Originally posted by twhiteheadI agree,but is our management of the environment being driven by our population levels?

On another thread a few hours ago you said "Murder is unlawful by definition". When you refer to the "murder [of] unborn babies" ~ and use the world "murder" in this way ~ are you referring to countries where abortion is "unlawful"?
Originally posted by twhiteheadNo, I am saying population growth indicates a healthy population. It is showing positive growth which is a good sign for a population.
In what way? Clarify.
So you are saying high population growth = poor health care? Or the other way around?
And whichever way you choose, why?
The weaker ones die, the strong live. The population continues to grow even without health care which in essence allows those who need medical help to continue to consume.
Let the population grow naturally.

This whole thread was based on the premise that a growing population was a bad sign.

It is still far from clear what you are trying to express. I won't even guess what you are trying to say or you will accuse me of twisting your words. But it is clear that you are confused.
Originally posted by apathistI am still hoping for some clarification on this. What resources do you think are finite as in a star ship? As far as I know, virtually all resources we use are available in quantities far larger than we will ever use. Many resources are actually recyclable. The issue normally is not so much availability but the cost of extracting them.
Think of earth as a star-ship. We need to manage our resources and our population. We need a long view.
