However, even an idiot can be right once in a while and he does have one valid point - the human race is breeding itself out of house and home. We keep pumping out children at a tremendous rate while simultaneously improving health care so people live tremendously longer than in past eras. If we keep up at the present rate, it won't be long (in historical terms) before we have more people than we can feed worldwide (it's already true in some areas). Sooner or later we are going to have to face the fact that we only have this one planet and it can only produce so much food - especially when we are continually reducing the food producing land areas by building more housing to house the continually increasing population.
