Overpopulation at a spot near you

If you don't believe in overpopulation, travel to Asia, particularly to urban areas, like Tokyo and its 38 million folks, or climb Mont-Blanc, Matterhorn or Everest and you'll soon discover that there are no quiet places anymore.

If your tastes are closer to home, go to any park, picturesque venue or popular shopping area, and you'll be choked by the crowds. There's no longer any place to hide!

Our planet is bulging at its seams and yet no one talks about it, as if it were politically incorrect. Yet, as we wonder what to do about pollution or greenhouse emissions, the conversation should start with curbing the earth's population.

Why don't we start a conversation about it?
