As human population encroaches into your idealist dream, you pay taxes for further methods by government to control the quality of food and water you enjoy, unabashedly. Those taxes and quality control methods to control your food and water could have been placed elsewhere within your humble existence; that is unless you live in a cave. With increased population growth comes the profiting HUGE_FOOD_INDUSTRIAL_COMPLEX that take away individual agrarian rights by driving up property taxes. Those same taxes cause you to move or become displaced from the land.

That is one freaking beautiful tree. It'd take all day to climb the sucker - and wear spikes.

I missed this fine post a bit earlier. You nailed the perspective with the Great Irish Potato famine in the 1800s. Ireland has still to recover.

How many times does it take to get it through your head? I HAVE NOT been denied food or water. To the degree that some populations have it is almost always because of the policies of their government(s). Sure, I feel for people who are hungry and who don't have good water. But I don't feel guilty about it because I didn't cause it.
Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end. To paraphrase, you mean, "I THINK I HAVE NOT been denied food or water." Let me attempt to show the issue a bit more clearly...... Hope that above summation helps you more ably to understand the issues you seem to ignore.
"Government exists to protect us from each other. Where government has gone beyond its limits is in deciding to protect us from ourselves." -- Ronald Reagan, circa 1977
BS! Don't tell me what I think or don't think. I KNOW that I have never gone hungry other than by my own choice. That's a fact whether you want to believe it or not. And I have NEVER been denied water when I was thirsty. That time may come but hasn't yet. Now don't you need to be calling your buddy, Al Gore, and whine to him about how not many people are paying any attention to you and him about globull warming these days?
Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end. You just don't realize that you have gone without water or food for anytime. But, I wager you stand in the long lines at COSCO or WALMART or any SUPERMARKET buying your bottled purified water and pre-packaged foods, now. And beyond your denial of the truth about loss of water and food ..... while standing in the long lines to be checked-out, I wager you had to pee ..... and you couldn't because you would lose your place in line. OUCH!
"Government exists to protect us from each other. Where government has gone beyond its limits is in deciding to protect us from ourselves." -- Ronald Reagan, circa 1977
Just how much would you like to bet on that? How much can you afford to lose?
Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end. And, say, that you "live off the fat of the land", the EPA is checking the way you grow your crops and water table, ready to cite you because you are abusive to nearby neighbors. I am afraid, you lose the argument no matter where I see you swing on the pendulum of the topic concerning human over-population.
"Government exists to protect us from each other. Where government has gone beyond its limits is in deciding to protect us from ourselves." -- Ronald Reagan, circa 1977
No, now you are talking bs again. How about the wager you wanted to make? How much can you stand to lose?
Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end. Does the wager really mean some significant amount of money? If so, you shall have to categorically PROVE, ownership of property which just may be a rental agreement. And you never go to any store standing in line. More to go as you push some inconsequential point. You must have blown a blood vessel over my post. (note to self: be kind to James .... he is a quiet man never standing in a store buying water or food)

bucky some one should put you in a paper bag put said paper bag on a porch set said paper bag alight then ring the door bell and run. like the paper bag you are full of crap while at the same time you are the turds.
Be extra careful near this tree, I can clearly see the head of a pterodactyl about six big branches below the top.

I'll sell you a share in the Hoosiers Gone Wild video for $600,000 plus shipping and handling. I'll throw in a badly forged press pass and a really cheap camera.

Nah, that is a Mountain Banshee or a Ikran as the Na'vi call it. If it gives me a problem I'll play Jake Sully and form a neural bond with it and keep it as a pet. Of course that is only if I encounter it while in my Na'vi avtar. ;l-D

Actually, there is a solution to this problem. Just recon out the nearest Mormon family with a two year food supply, off the suckers and load up the Hummer you hijacked earlier from the soft bodied rich yuppie you also recon out, and take it to your hide you prepared in advance in case of a society busting disaster. Why pay for shit if the system is going to cave in?
Hell with that, upon further examination that prehistoric predator must weigh like 600 pounds, I'd be ordering applewood

Indeed. When you can talk some mental midget into doing something that will literally get them killed in your place and you place no value on any life but your own, as the ones pushing the suicide bombers, of course you will take out the mental midget and maybe some "infidels" along with him.
Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end. Poor ol' buck, he just can't help it. He "ain't right" you know. He keeps insisting that I have been shorted on food and water and I keep telling him that it just ain't so. And he knows nothing about me or my circumstances but seems to think he knows everything. Pitiful, just pitiful.
Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end. LOL! You must have been the beneficiary of one of the first passports.
Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end. It's some tree, that's for sure. Personally, I think they should save them. It takes too long to grow them back. There's a nice bunch of them up here... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MacMillan_Provincial_Park I know what you mean about the clear cutting, I saw it from the plane. I remember seeing it about 20 years ago from the plane and then last year I saw it again when I flew over the Rockies... Honestly, I had no intention of this thread being a discussion about clearcutting or logging, I just thought it was a cool picture.
You asked for it :P One of my favorites from a man who I consider a truly great poet.
Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end. I was just thinking of how that's my favorite Dylan song and if I should post it or not!
Yes I am aware of that.
"With respect to the words general welfare, I have always regarded them as qualified by the detail of powers connected with them.

Good one Sir James!
how many guys are in that picture? ...five, maybe six?
Yes indeed. It's been said Desolation Row is Dylan's recollections of the East Village in the late 50s, early 60s.

With an expanding population base: more government. With more government: more controls. With more controls: more taxes. With more taxes: less freedom. With less freedom: less property. With less property: less water and food.

None of the people who are always the loudest about "overpopulation" seem to be willing to do their part to decrease it.

And fishermen hold flowers
Between the windows of the sea
And nobody has to think too much
About Desolation Row
After the ambulances go
Is Cinderella sweeping up
On Desolation Row
The stars are beginning to hide
Has even taken all her things inside
All except for Cain and Abel
And the hunchback of Notre Dame
Everybody is making love
Or else expecting rain
And the Good Samaritan, he’s dressing
He’s getting ready for the show
He’s going to the carnival tonight

In fact, I as an individual nearly did just that already in July 1998, which gives strong reason never to doubt that.
