Yeah, but there *are* enough resources now for everyone to live, maybe not at an upper-class American standard, but still. Bucky Fuller had a humane plan, but the bigwigs preferred B.F. Skinner.
Let Mother Nature take care of the plagues. If we're overpopulating, she'll take care of it. Not death camps, not man-made biological agents.
I've seen that damn _Population Bomb_ book has been discredited by several sources. I'll dig at my bookstore if anyone cares.
