The Planet is Getting a Little Crowded
Yes, folks, it’s time to move over.
As the song goes:
There were ten little kids lying in the bed
And the little one said,
“Roll over, roll over,”
They all rolled over and one fell out,
And the little one said,
“Roll over…”
7,000,000,000 people are now hugging this dirt ball they call home. 31st October 2011 is the official estiamted date for the birth of the 7,000,000,000th person.
I saw somewhere that it was best guessed that he/she would be born in the northwest of India, one of the more prolific areas of the planet; but apparently not.
Baby 7,000,000,000 arrived “symbolically’ in the Philippines.

Danica will join 12-year-old Adnan Nevic of Bosnia Herzogovina, the sixth billionth baby, and Matej Gaspar from Croatia, who was number five billion in July 1987, no one knows for sure when in 1974 that the world population became 4 billion.

We are overloaded. There’s too many people. Somebody has to stop the bus and let a few off.
I read recently that the planet can support a maximum of 500 million and retain its sustainability; i.e. Mother Nature’s balance. But we have interfered with her equation to such an extent that we have doomed ourselves to extinction. Yes, our extinction is no longer a matter of maybe, it is guaranteed.
How have we unbalanced the scales so much? Simply we do not let people die. People (and some very notable scientists amongst them) have said the birthrate is too high. That’s pure unadulterated bollocks, the birthrate is perfect; Mother Nature designed that so it is perfect. What man has done behind Mother nature’s back has been to extend the life of many individuals so that less people are dying than she planned.
Have you ever wondered why we have global warming, worsening hurricanes, more earthquakes, resistant diseases and the like? Mother Nature is trying to balance the equation.
Imagine that the planet is like a dog, we are the fleas and Mother Nature is simply having a good scratch.
You want another analogy:
Agent John Smith to Morpheus in Matrix…
I’d like to share a revelation that I’ve had during my time here. It came to me when I tried to classify your species, and I realised that humans are not actually mammals. Every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with the surrounding environment; but you humans do not. Instead you multiply, and multiply, until every resource is consumed. The only way for you to survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern… a virus. Human beings are a disease, a cancer on this planet, you are a plague, and we… are the cure.
I happen to think that is so true, mankind is the virus on this planet.
I think it’s time for breakfast…
Milliways, yes, I could go to Milliways for breakfast while watching the whole of creation explode around me.
You see, for the uninitiated, Milliways is a restaurant at the end of the universe.

In the Philippines a novel idea in its simplicity has changed the future for many. Light without technology, without power for the struggling millions who can’t afford it.
