Go read "Future Shock" by Alan Toffler. He seems to have called it pretty close (especially about population growth in the US) unlike most writers who predict the future. Population growth for whites is below zero, for other races way above zero.
The import/export ratio is not a matter of necessity, but management/buyer decisions. That is far different than not being able to support our population. Also it is now a world economy, not a local one we live in. It has been moving that way since WWII. It is a transportation issue, you import non-luxury goods that can be moved to your location in a time frame that prevents spoilage. These days that is about everything. If you do not like it I suggest you do not buy foreign goods; get rid of your cameras immediately (you can send them to me via pre-paid post). <GRIN!> -- graywolf http://www.graywolfphoto.com http://webpages.charter.net/graywolf "Idiot Proof" <==> "Expert Proof" ----------------------------------- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Searching the Net I have found nothing to indicate that the US population > growth has slowed to 0.
