Some ideas I have for resolving some key International problems. At the time of this writing, the population of China is nearly eleven billion, and Africa, six billion. HIV not only infects 99% of all racial populations of Africa, but Indonesia, the Philipines, and Croatia. The water ways of a large part of Europe are threatened with radioactivity and West Germany, Luxembourg, and the Netherlands will be uninhabitable in about five years because of this. More specifics later on these and other issues.
I have some ideas that I think may go a long way in steering us through some of these tight bends. Obviously, it's going to take a lot more than just hippies to care about this stuff and I'm pretty sure I've stumbled on some answers for getting not just government, but business and communities integrated in ways sufficient to tackle what's ahead. So consider this a placeholder to go into some fair depth on how all of this should pan out. A lot of what I'll be writing is what has been occupying my mind for the last few months and why I haven't posted very much.

Where did you get these figures from, I thought the population of the world is approx. 6 billion.

He isn't talking about "now". He is talking about the time he wrote this (or technically, the time he will write this). Haven't you seen Gadianton's ride?
It’s relatively easy to agree that only Homo sapiens can speak about things that don’t really exist, and believe six impossible things before breakfast. You could never convince a monkey to give you a banana by promising him limitless bananas after death in monkey heaven.

I see, thanks Analytics, so he's projecting into the future.

Dude, were you tripping balls when you wrote this?
And crawling on the planet's face
Some insects called the human race
Lost in time
And lost in space...and meaning

Sure guys, make fun. You likely don't posses the foundation necessary to make proper sense of the subject. For now on I'll prefer not to discuss certain things in certain venues. And the fundamental nature of the world's problems and how to solve them is one of those things: Several times, on this very board (including just two or three days ago), I've backed away from discussions of this topic, though I would be happy to discuss it elsewhere, with certain people, under the right circumstances and if I felt moved upon to do so. I simply won't discuss this on an internet message board with critics. There are subjects that I consider very sacred, and, even, where I believe myself to have received specific inspiration regarding them. This is one of those.
I should have known better before posting what I did.

For the record I didn't make fun.
I was supposed to?
Also for the record, you're not a guy.
I will give you the statistics you are asking for and how I came to learn about them in private some time, if I feel the hearing of my words has been sanctified and set apart by Spirit of the Lord for a proper mutual edification.

I'm so used to off the wall posts on this message board that it's hard to differentiate the serious from the non. Sorry about that Gad.
