And there I think is the nub of most of the human races problems.
Combine a biological drive to reproduce at a rate as close to rabbits as we can collectively manage and a world economic system which focusses on profit and is predicated on a constantly growing "Consumer" base and therefore a constantly growing population and a fair few of our species problems fall out of that.
I am not entering into the hunting/fishing argument. Particularly when the promise/threat? is right there on the first page of this thread that it was being copied complete by the OP. IMO "I will make sure we all remember what everyone said" is not a good debating tactic.
