How about Parents that abuse their kids??? No more kids for them...Don't give money to girls that get pregnant.

Absolutely!!  Why aren't governments and media talking about this?  Back in the early 80s, a teacher at our local high school demonstrated an "energy board," a computerized console  covering about half the top of a card table.  On it were levers to increase/decrease various sources of energy, as well as to increase/decrease worldwide uses of energy. No matter how we  adjusted the levers, the board showed the world running out of energy in 100 years or so.  The only exception was that IF WE TURNED DOWN THE POPULATION GROWTH DIAL, the energy supply would last longer. I have been a long time supporter of the concept Zero Population Growth!!!  The China one-child policy seems draconian . . . unless one considers the alternative!   Just like population expansion, let the spread of the Zero Population Growth idea also expand GEOMETRICALLY (2-4-8-16-32, etc.).  PASS IT ON!!!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[M.

I am one of those "pregnant girls" that you speak of. Yes I did get pregnant and now rely on Medicaid to help provide a healthy pregnancy for me and my unborn child. And guess what, I am a woman with a Bachelor's Degree. So sorry if our economy is going to crap and I can't find a job that will provide me the insurance I need to take care of me and my future family. So just an FYI, not everyone that uses government help abuses those privileges.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Cristina]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 27th 2008 1:00PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Eco-Friendly Dubai Pyramid Concept Could House 1.1 Million]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/08/26/eco-friendly-dubai-pyramid-concept-could-house-1-1-million/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/08/26/eco-friendly-dubai-pyramid-concept-could-house-1-1-million/</guid><description><![CDATA[How about chemically neutering men like yourself who are dumbing up the gene pool to begin with? Who do you think you are? Next you're going to say that everybody should be "lo-jacked"! If you like the idea of population control so much, maybe you need to move to China.

Solari came to Scottsdale, AZ from Italy to study with Frank Lloyd Wright in the early 1960's and developed the mega-city- structure "concept" at that time.  In those days most people thought Solari's idea was weird + impractical + stupid since America had plenty of land, energy, water, clean air and fewer people... now America + the world is choking and we have seriously abused our land, resources and people... however the epic Greek battle between the Epicureans and Stoics flavored with the Tower of Babble will never be won by either side... the Dubai Pyramid is nothing more that a giant prison cell and a metaphor for the final coffin for mankind... isn't interesting that it Jesus' shadow can be seen in the sand... all we need to do "now" is read our manual for living life... BIBLE.  ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[DENNIS ABERT]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 27th 2008 8:16AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Eco-Friendly Dubai Pyramid Concept Could House 1.1 Million]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/08/26/eco-friendly-dubai-pyramid-concept-could-house-1-1-million/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/08/26/eco-friendly-dubai-pyramid-concept-could-house-1-1-million/</guid><description><![CDATA[Does anyone remember the movie Logans Run?

Eco-friendly, it also allows for less topographical coverage. I don't particularly envy the idea of what might be considered a condensed city, the beneficial environmental aspects shouldn't be overlooked. As our population continues to grow, more and more space is being taken away from this fair planet.Consolidation of mass populace could save many endangered species of life, from flora to animal life. Self sufficient natural power sources might still be relatively new, investing in the development of our own natural power sources instead of wondering if one of the countries we obtain fossil fuels is pissed at us,would be a problem no longer. Short of a few imports, we could tell them we win the pissing match! <br>  We could possibly even discontinue out-sourcing of work As youg adults, we need help from other, this way we won't require help from anyone but ourselves! Bravo to whoever had the ability to make such an ingenious presentation. Well worth researching. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Mike Mayes]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 27th 2008 8:43AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Eco-Friendly Dubai Pyramid Concept Could House 1.1 Million]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/08/26/eco-friendly-dubai-pyramid-concept-could-house-1-1-million/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/08/26/eco-friendly-dubai-pyramid-concept-could-house-1-1-million/</guid><description><![CDATA[OK... how do you deal with crime in this building? ... talk about too close for comfort.  Imagine the sewage this kind of a facility would generate?  the water pressure needed to sustain water usage for a million people all crammed in a a 2.3 square kilometer  area... this is .89 square miles.. Can you say Matrix?  This would never work unless we were all locked in pods and comatose. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Mimi Kelly]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 27th 2008 9:24AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Eco-Friendly Dubai Pyramid Concept Could House 1.1 Million]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/08/26/eco-friendly-dubai-pyramid-concept-could-house-1-1-million/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/08/26/eco-friendly-dubai-pyramid-concept-could-house-1-1-million/</guid><description><![CDATA[Wow!!!

People living there would either work for the govt. or live on welfare.  There would be no 'commuting' to a job or a shopping mall. All services would be provided by government( like mail, water, electric, TV channels and maybe phone service.,, Hell folks it would be a glorified PRISON.
