meanSpleen is right of course. Which is to say there IS over population in some parts of the world but the world as a whole is still very empty. Of course if you live in a big ass city I can talk all I want and will never convince you of this. Take a drive from Tulsa to Dallas and see if you still think the world is over populated.

WHOA. 5300 deaths in a few weeks? Where the frudge do you get your numbers? According to WHO the TOTAL death rate of sars to date is 799. That is world wide. You are probably confusing the number that has died from it with the number that has gotten it. 5326 cases in china from Nov 2002 till June 16th 2003. Only 346 deaths in china. 8460 total cases worldwide. Sorry about the off topic rant. I am just so damn tired of sensationalism crap. Oh well. Sars has had its 15 minutes. Time for the next uncurable disease that is going to wipe us all off the face of the planet... just to be cured one year later after effecting effecting 0.00000141 of the worlds population and a mear 0.000005326 of the population of its home country(Based on a world population of 6,000,000 and population of China of 1,000,000)
