Still Backwards
"We need more fresh water" is better stated, "We have too many people for this amount of fresh water." Water shortages are one of the many ways overpopulation expresses itself.
I was disappointed the article and other letters mistake overpopulation for an array of smaller problems, ignoring this very core cause of the array. Growth, ironically called progress, is vital to our economy, businesses, political institutions and religious organizations but it is not sustainable as we are doing it. So, we should expect to start running out of basic things, both nationally and globally.
America is growing as fast as some 3rd world countries and we may have exceeded our nations carrying capacity. If everyone short of water moves back here to Michigan, I'll move out to the desert to get away from the crowding.
