Who should be selected to be killed and what criteria should be used to select these people? These are questions that must be answered. I have developed some systems for death selection for the worldwide community to consider

Myth One: There is not enough food and not enough land. Untrue: Measured globally, there is enough to feed everyone.

I have been concerned over the issue of overpopulation for quite some time, but have never really looked into the idea, until recently.

I was wondering what your feelings were regarding the
