POPULATION GROWTH IS PIVOTAL ISSUE IN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
by Georgie Anne Geyer

For years, people who were against family planning could argue, and
hope, and pretend, and weave tales about the glories of open grasslands
in Kazakhstan as an answer to the world's population problem -- and some

pressures and the Earth's sheer sustainability, we can clearly see how
foolishly self-destructive that approach has been and continues to be.
