I could just as easily have said CNN or MSNBC. I think it is telling how you immediately interpret it as some partisan biased comments. As for your analysis that economic growth is associated with population reduction that is a complex issue. You cannot say that people who are at the edge of survival are automatically going to overpopulate given that any further scarcity can send that population into precipitous decline. Which is what my statement tried to convey, that sufficient food, medicine, transportation, good sanitation etc. all product of a sufficiently robust economic system would enable populations to survive and thus grow.
All my line of thought precipitated by Asg, attacking the credibility of the site Zerohedge, because apparently it is a little to blunt and stark for his liking. Well, mainstream news of which Fox is part of make commentaries and editorials that rather shy away from bluntness in favor of unrealistic and downright false notions. We can argue this last point endlessly. I simply do not trust mainstream news and the Establishment as they have been consistently transmitting false information on the airwaves and mediums of communication. For example Exxon, on climate change, Cigarette companies on tobacco, Govt. reports about the Economy, about true international motivations and maneuvers, about spying on the public at large, about domestic policies that have are portrayed as beneficial but are not, such as the War on Drugs, Immigration policy etc. About economic policies whose true motivations are to further the aims of Corporations and the well heeled rather than the average citizen. And so on.
I am seriously tired of hearing over and over again from some on this site this naive and old/tired version of a reality which simply does not exist. The reason I stay is because at least all of you here understand the fact that ALL this is very unsustainable. The sheeple at large in the world do not even see that. They are no better than zombies unable to understand anything beyond their immediate survival.
YOU quoted a lefty web page in Alberta Canada and then attacked Fox News for statements that YOU had cut and pasted from that lefty web page. Then YOU displayed a staggering lack of familiarity with Fox News and Fox Business, two different cable channels in the Fox Entertainment group, which is a reliable indication that YOU YOURSELF exclude from your head all inputs that do not fit into your warped lefty view of the world. Then when I injected actual facts and noted that one could not even make a coherent argument unless you understand the position of your opponent in the debate.
Lastly, you posted the incoherent tirade above. I am making an assumption here, but you seem to be hot because somebody else has dared to question your cherished self-delusions. But free and open and respectful debate is what PO.com is all about.
