Dealing with Overpopulation
Humans tend to over crowd areas that are financially vibrant or convenient, but how do you deal economically and securely with an area / country that is drastically over populated? SOme believe that taking a Communist / Socialist path is the best way - others have sided with making a police state and yet others cannot find an answer - what is yours?
I believe the best path to arresting over population is through education. Every study undertaken has shown that knowledge leads to better self management. You are empowered to better understand and control your livelihood, relationships, money, emotions and certainly how many children you want vs how many you should have. The 350 Million middle class people of India has shown lower birth rates than the rest of India. Additionally, the more educated people are, the less children they tend to have.
Over crowding may have been a better phase to use in the thread title. The world is far from overpopulated.
I believe the problems of overcrowding and of population distribution generally cannot be reolved by force if you believe in the right of liberty; but the natural solution is for nations to cease following the unitary path and pursue a federalist one (as the Constitution of the US intended).
