every one of our lives at any given moment?
Good... I'm glad you asked.
Sure, the world faces energy crises, food shortages and crime waves of epidemic proportions, but righ now there are only a little over SIX BILLION PEOPLE in the world. By 2050 it has been estimated by Census takers that the world's population will be 9.3 billion, which will compound each and every environmental and social hazard many times over. What will we do then? Sit around and talk about how much fun it was to go places without having to walk or stop ever so often to watter and feed the horses? I guess obesity will be a thing of the past in ten-or-twenty years, but it won't be because the government outlaws eating and drinking on school property. That will happen, no doubt, but it will be the number of miles children have to walk to school that does most of the trimming of flab.
Maybe now is the time to start tearing up the highways and major interstates so we can reclaim pastureland...
