The polar-bear quote from Ed’s post below — and the demography debate Mark Steyn started over in the Corner — remind me. . . .

In the course of some stop-and-go driving the other day, I wondered how bad the traffic would be if humans had increased their population nearly fivefold since 1950 – as has happened over the same span with the polar bear, which is apparently about to be declared “endangered” nonetheless.

I’m just saying. One man’s population bomb, explosion, epidemic, etc. is another’s threat of extinction.

As P. J. O’Rourke aptly distilled the population nags’ philosophy: “just enough of them, way too many of you and me.”
