What is this about "capacity". Have you not read anything I wrote? Quietude, congestion... ring a bell? QUALITY of life is as important or even moreso than QUANTITY. How far out in the sticks must I be forced to relocate...

Tell me about what purpose it serves to load 'er right up to full capacity. It must be awesome. This ought to be good.

How do you know when full capacity has been reached? ... When?
— 'Quality moreso than quantity' sounds different to 'we're at the 59th minute!"

— Sort of a Buddhist attitude of acceptance? Sex=babies, deal with it.

— One knows when full capacity has been reached because it's a failure mode, The whole planet looks like Saharasia.

I can't find the best graphic representation of this—a stack of disks on each country, but this might give the idea. Wild swings in birth rate really hammer on life's support systems. Countries with half the population under 15 have different problems than counties where half the population is over 60.

If everyone was a vegan nudist wearing hemp sandals and living in a geodesic dome, we might just squeek by.

Frank Lee -- domes are acoustically insulative. When you'rte inside you have no idea what your redneck neighbors are up to.
