That sounds cool. War is good, and war is Hell. What are ya gonna do?

I don't think the Bible (or, as you might think, the author(s) of the Bible) says that we should leave a wasteland behind us. We must be good-stewards of all we've been given. This includes our greatest physical possession, the earth. I believe that you will agree with my opinion (although maybe not the origin of that opinion...).

As far as zero-population growth, you have no idea how efficient farming can be when crop-rotation and even genetic engineering are implemented (no, I'm not afraid of genetic engineering. Most people who are really scared of it are just that way because they don't really understand it.). Well, maybe you have an idea, but I was being figurative... Anyways, there are vast wastelands waiting to be cultiviated and/or made fertile. You have 3/4s of the world still covered in water. The ocean can be harvested for food, too. Haven't you ever watched SeaQuest? (or water it is called)

Why do you keep bringing up the stuff about the water-tables and stuff? It's not like we shoot it out into space! It's still on earth. It's still even in the cycle of evaporation and precipitation and stuff, even though humans exist (that was a sarcastic statement making fun of the belief of some that humans are responsible for every problem in the world and that the solution to all of those problems means less humans) and drink water. I don't think that humans are yet that influencing of our planet that we can make a large percentage of water disappear entirely from the face of the earth. Again, 3/4s of the world is covered with this fluid wet stuff (water), and all that is needed is some efficient way to get it distilled or something. A lot of distillation requires much power. How about fusion? That would provide almost free power (scalable and renewable, I mean), but unfortunately research isn't going anywhere fast without money being poured into it. I'm sure that we'll have fusion by 2030, though. (that's just my opinion, mind you)
