Makes your head hurt doesn’t it?

 

Since I’ve already seen this nightmare in India and China, I know what’s coming.   Rifkin said, “In the great era of urbanization, we have shut off the human race from the rest of the natural world in the belief that we could conquer, colonize and utilize the riches of the planet to ensure our autonomy without dire consequences to us and future generations.”

 

Sorry, we can’t get away much longer with what we’re doing to this planet.

 

As I’ve said before and I repeat today, we stand, like a proud whitetail buck, in the crosshairs of the most deadly moment of our country since the Civil War.  If S.B. 2611 passes, that next added 100 million people becomes our children’s “Human Katrina.”  If we fail to stop this Senate from passing that landmark immigration package, it will shift into overdrive the greatest importation of humanity ever experienced in the history of the world.  It will assure an added three to four million people added to our country every year.  It will not stop illegal immigration; it will explode it.  It will not reduce legal immigration; it will double it.

 

It’s as if our citizens by their apathy and our politicians by their ignorance--beg for this country’s demise, its degradation and its collapse into the clutches of the nightmare of an added 100 million people. 

 

If I could take you for a two week trip to Mexico City, Mexico; Shanghai, China; Bombay, India; Dacca, Bangladesh; Alexandria, Egypt—you would become sick to your stomach.  You would be inspired to take action.  You wouldn’t want your children to live what those people suffer in their misery by the millions as they cling to life—every day of their lives.

 

The PBS journalist Bill Moyers asked the great science fiction writer Isaac Asimov, “What happens to the idea of the dignity of the human species if this population growth continues at its present rate?”

 

Asimov replied, “It will be completely destroyed.  I use what I call the bathroom metaphor:  if two people live in an apartment and there are two bathrooms, then both have freedom of the bathroom.  You can go to the bathroom anytime you want to stay as long as you like for whatever you need.
