OVERCROWDING

Now this one is so easy that a child should be able to see the fallacy of the statement. The eggheads who write all the articles about overcrowding all live in big cities and fight that rush hour traffic and have to make dinner reservations 3 weeks ahead of time just to get into McDonalds. Sure to them the world looks crowded as they jostle a million other people for a space on the subway. Ask a farmer in Kansas if it’s overcrowded. His nearest neighbor lives farther away than the entire city of New York. I have driven across this country from coast to coast several times. When you do that you get a perspective that flying doesn’t allow you. If you fly its bam and there you are 6 hours or less and you are across the entire continent. Try driving it. After a few days you realize that you have been driving for about 5 hours and all you have seen are trees and shrubs but not a single human being. We have more land and food than we can use it’s just that people like to crowd into large groups and clan together.

Most times this happened throughout history the black plague or some other disease would come along and attack the areas with the worst living conditions and bingo about ¾ of the earth’s population would die out. Now with the modern miracle of treated water and sewer systems and antibiotics we can stuff more people than ever before into ever-smaller spaces thanks to high rise buildings. New York, Tokyo, Saul Palo, Kuala Lumpur, and more. Literally billions crammed into housing that is so small and tight that our southern bathrooms are spacious by comparison. Sure to these fools the world seems crowded because it is but I have been to places where there was no one in sight nor any indication of another human at all. Once on a
trip to the western part of the USA I drove through the cornfields of what seemed most of Kansas. It was literally hundreds of miles of either corn or just flat land as far as you could see. In New Mexico and Arizona I saw tracts of land where the road signs would say next gas 300 miles and they were not kidding. I have been to other countries like Australia where we went to Ayers rock. It was a 6-hour drive over empty moonscape land and swamps, jungle and desert to reach it and the only sign of human habitation was the tourist rest areas along the road. In Europe there are areas in the Black Forest that stretch for thousands of miles where no one lives and has not for thousands of years since the Picts moved out to become civilized.

We got space on this planet, we got more space than we can use. It’s just all the monkeys no longer live in the jungle but decided to move to the zoo and the zoo is crowded believe me I been there too and the zoo is definitely crowded. So my solution is move out if you don’t like it. Stop bitching about it and look further away than a Jersey suburb and think about those vast uninhabited tracts of land available to anyone who wants to live there. Hell, look at Vegas it was once a piece of flat desert with nothing more than scorpions and buzzards. Now thanks to the Mob, it’s one of the largest vacation spots on the planet ranking right up there with Disney World and the famous Black Gold Festival in Perry County KY. A few facts here to
back up my statements as provided by http://www.nemw.org/popdensity.htm the states of NY and NJ have a population density of 1134 peopleper square mile. But if you think that’s crowded its nothing to Washington DC where the density sits at 9317 bureaucratic monkeys per square mile. On the other hand North Dakota boasts a 9, Montana a 6 Wyoming a 5 and Alaska has 1 person per square mile on the average. We got space people just move out of the freaking cities and live in the country. Hell with satellite you can still get your broadband and 200 high def video channels no matter where you are.
