If the people who migrated to the American continents and to Australia and southern Africa had adopted simpler life styles based on the lives being lived by the people already in those areas and each couple had only 1 or 2 children, the earth might have balanced its population so that human beings could survive through droughts and floods and climate variations. But without simplicity and using primitive weapons to hunt and more gathering of wild, native food than cultivation, that cannot be possible. <br />So human beings continue to reproduce and become weaker as they depend on massive farming operations and eat more than they need and work in industries that produce luxuries rather than necessities in order to buy unnecessary things and depend on a growing, wasteful economy to acquire wealth they do not need.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
