You know, the hell of it all, Yorick, is that I don't know how to feel about you. On one hand, I'm really REALLY disagreeing with some of the things you're saying... But on the other hand, you have some things to say that are akin to my own thoughts, such as more public transportation and less meat.
That being said...
I do hear what you're saying about New York... It *is* a glorious place, and I suppose that it does work... but there are some other places in the world that are horribly overpopulated. Now, if we as a species shared everything we had, there would be no starvation... but I don't think humans, as a race, enjoy sharing. Resource management needs to be rethought... but I can't see any real progress happening for several centuries. We as a race have come amazingly far in an incredibly short amount of time, but we still have a long way to go.
And it is also my opinion that giving positive encouragement is identical to negative discrimination. The result is the same: Favoring one type of person above another.
