The very thought of something such as that in the USA creeps me out big time. The only way I would agree to anything of the sort is after everybody buys into the idea. To me, that means a population limit for this country that is a number such as for example 350 Million. Both the limit number and the system to regulate population under that limit need to be implemented with Amendments to our Constitution.

Why did that fail miserably? China is the global leader in economic growth. How is that for failure?

Not because of lack of compassion but because Death is as much a part of this world/reality we live in as anything else in it. Come to think of it Ibon, in your moments of solitude in Mount Totumas, you must feel that sense of peace more precious than any pleasures the Earthly world can give us. Yes human kind seems hell bent on experiencing pleasures and sensations before the cold hand of death takes us. But how then can we be still enough long enough to feel the Peace bereft of longing and fear. I lived all my life near the big city and these words from this song capture the futility of it "As I rose above the noise and confusion just to get a glimpse beyond this illusion" Enjoy the rest of your day amigo Ibon.
