oh, my, oh, my.....
reading this and thinking:
how come Europe is so nice, comfortable and why do we like to go on vacations there?
after all, they have all those "horrible" things and even toilets with saving flush options - what idiots ! ( is there a smiliki for irony?).

Lina, can you try to do it without demagoguery ? Telling parents of a child which hospital to take their child to, is not the same as telling people to limit exhaust of their cars.
Second is the matter of public safety, first is a private matter.

Are they limited (resources) because there is no water in Africa, or because Al Gore said it?
The Earth can easily sustain a lot more of folks wondering around.
We have a lot of resources, while they are limited in a way, we are far from the need to control the water consumption in Michigan and New York.
In Michigan, for example, the level of water grew in the Great Lakes because of the cold temperatures for the last 10 years.
More resources and no Global Warming...

demagoguery??? are you sure you were reading my post and not the one preceding it?

Anyone knows what percent of uninsured americans are uninsured voluntarily , i.e chose not to pay for medical coverage available to them?

does it stop us from quiting smokig or drinking alchogol or even not to eat fat food by actually having high cost of the medical insurance or even worsen our health? no,,,,,we all know well the answer for this question

Gera, it doesn't take Al Gore to figure out that our resources can't possibly keep up with our growing populaton - not to mention that we'll eventually run out ofspace to dump all that used toilet paper... Oh and Michigan and New York aren't the only states in the union.

Alex, not percentage, but amount - 40 million people.

raising taxes doesn't entirely stop us from smoking, drinking, eating junk food... but as I mentioned earlier, we started using considerably less gas, when oil prices went up

Aga... so you will start with our government controlling us, instead of controlling China, India, Africa....
Look at the Israel, in 50 years they changed the desert into paradise!
Nothing stops their neighbors to do the same!
