unexpected peace dividend /thepopulation bomb

60 years with out a major world war . the longest recorded era of peace in history . there has been an unexpected dividend from all this peace and wealth building . the population explosion . oh not here in suburbia . we baby boomers have managed to replace ourselves and that is quite a lot of people , but our Friends around the world have been quite busy .

Africa is interesting, since the collapse of colonialism . the continent has fallen into anarchy . except south Africa , but since the dutch have been thrown out. it is well on it way to the bottom . it seems that the Africans have a lot of children most of their civil wars are really different war lords taking all the farm , grazing lands and water . the government than tries to take them back for its own use . an endless cycle as evidenced by all the infomercials soliciting money for all the starving children in Africa . this is a brutal form of population control .

the middle east . the Arabs have controlled their population for a millennium thru war among each other . the Arabs have alot of children , and life is hard in a desert . especially when the sheik drills for oil instead of water . so Islam is used as a reason for tribal warfare , which is why American democracy will not work for them . it would result in to many people and not enough resources . to bad Mr. Bush can not understand this .

china another interesting scenario . the red menace has defeated America with out firing a shot . thru trade and manufacturing . unfortunately all this peace and prosperity has left them with over a billion people . an odd culture . women can only have one child and female fetuses frequently aborted in favor of males . which has resulted in to many men and not enough women . it is a good strategy if you want a large army . but there is no war to fight . 200,000 people a year die of starvation . china fields a 200 million man army . perhaps this army is to prevent the collapse of the government when the food runs out .

India . i think these nice people will probably starve to death or die of plague . but will be happier in their next reincarnation . maybe they are right .

south and central America and Mexico . these people produce children at a fantastic rate . they are forced to try and get into the USA . because their are no jobs or food and their is not going to be any because of their corrupt governments . it is no surprise Hugo Chavez is so popular .

so back in 1970 Alvin toffler . Mr. future shock was right about the population explosion . war has always been a natural population control mechanism . brutal for sure but effective . so is another global war inevitable ? or can the world make peace share resources and let everyone live a decent life ? if so other countries and cultures are going to have to stop having so many children . if history repeats itself were looking at Armageddon . hopefully we can change history and make a new world .
