“To conjure up a conscience in others is tempting to anyone who wishes to extend his control beyond the legal limits. Leaders at the highest level succumb to this temptation. Has any President during the past generation failed to call on labor unions to moderate voluntarily their demands for higher wages, or to steel companies to honor voluntary guidelines on prices? I can recall none.

 “For centuries it was assumed without proof that guilt was a valuable, perhaps even an indispensable, ingredient of civilized life. Now, in this post-Freudian world, we doubt it.

At the present moment, Mexico, Central and South American citizens converge into America at breakneck speeds from over-breeding within their own societies.  Mexico boasts 28 million Mexicans living within the United States. 

Today, Pakistan expects to double its population from 80 million to 160 million by mid-century.  Clearly they exceed the Commons.  China adds eight million annually.  India adds 12 million annually.  Where do they flee?

As witnessed in this film, Muslims reached from five to nine million in the USA since 1970.  They added 52 million to Europe within 40 years.  They expect to be the dominant ethnic group in Europe by mid-century.  Clearly they overwhelm the commons.  For a look at the “Tragedy of the Commons” consider this eight minute movie:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6-3X5hIFXYU

We will discover that ethnic groups will continue multiplying their numbers for a greater ‘share’ of the commons, which translates to short term power. India illustrates that dilemma in that its many ethnic groups try to out birth one another for more political power.  Unfortunately, their misery and environmental damage accelerate with their added 12 million annually.

As the “Tragedy of the Commons” quickens, no one wins and everyone loses no matter what their race, creed or color.

Part 4: End result of the Tragedy of the Commons
