Actually, ecologists state such things. Look at the GPI. Do you even know what an ecological footprint is?

Ecologists are idiots. They are not economists. Their idea has its root in Malthus, and the Malthusian cycle, and this whole "overpopulation" hokum was a result of him. But since then, capitalism broke the Malthusian cycle and therefore, the overpopulation myth.

Economics is not a study of financial transactions. That shows to me you do not know what economics is the study of.

Economics shows that man, with limited resources, can accomodate a growing population, due to the free market. After all, that was what capitalism proved. Either way this is off topic.

However, interracial relationships are encouraged. Folks please, if you have not been in an interracial relationship, you are most likely racist and xenophobic. The goal of Project Interracialism is to have at least everyone date the color spectrum by the year 2050.
