At our current population growth, we follow China and India's disastrous footsteps as we grow toward 1 billion people in this century.  Fifty years from now, the same report on China's enormous dilemma will be our nightmare in the West, especially, and throughout the United States.

At least one person in Newsweek's report spoke rationally.  K.R. Sridhar said, "I'm not against conservation, but the idea that we can conserve our way out of this problem will not hold."

Mother-Nature ALWAYS Wins

Everything reported in Newsweek reminded me of a vision— Governor Arnold, the great muscleman, jumping into the Colorado River north of I-70 in springtime— with a goal of swimming to its source in the Fraser Valley near the Continental Divide in Colorado.  The scene proves magnificent; his mighty muscles carry him upward, past the torrents of melting water rushing out of the Rocky Mountains. 

Sure enough, the press features him making tremendous progress.  Each day, he puffs on his cigar with confidence in his journey.  However, the mighty Colorado kept adding water to its annual snow-melt runoff.  As Arnold  progressed, in reality rushing water swept him backwards— downstream. 

In the end, even Arnold suffered total defeat by the forces of nature. 

Connecting the Dots— Unchecked, Rampant Population Growth

As you've connected the dots in this series, such is the fate of California and America— if we don't take aggressive steps to address the root-cause, the one aspect causing defeat in all of our efforts— no matter how much we pretend to make progress.

Why do this to our children? 

Why won't anyone discuss it?  Why such obscene irresponsibility?  I shake my head in wonder at our continued active path toward our perilous destiny.

Strategic Planning Void; We MUST Awaken and Step Up to the Plate— Soon

Copping out is NOT an option.  Likewise, caving-in to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce or the open-borders advocates, one-and-the-same.
