I'm glad to encounter someone who can understand my opinions. Disease is an essential part of life, more fundamentally, death is a fundamental part of life. We cannot hope to keep up our exponential growth rate for long. Several scenarios can ensue.
1) Population growth can be controlled through education. People learn to stop having as many children and/or using birth control.
2) Disease can curtail population growth.
3) Catastrophes (i.e. nuclear war) can cause mass death.
4) Resources become to thin, and people starve to death.
Why not use 2) to our advantage and crush a potential enemy of the United States? Its like killing two birds with one stone.
