Jerry,

If you are going to paraphrase me please do not distort my meaning. I ask you 
to review my original response to your notion that overpopulation and karmic 
justice are at fault here and that there is nothing we should do about it. It 
has become increasingly clear that distortion, subtle and extreme, is what 
you do as a matter of course. I am growing weary of it. Here is your 
statement which I was responding to:

Both your observations are pure speculation. The first part, is the 
unthinking rhetoric of vested interest groups. The last, unfounded guesswork. 
I do not know of ANY scientific study which backs that up with evidence.

Your past responses to others on this list are beginning to appear as 
argument for argument's sake. I have not found many of your comments 
theosophically sound or well thought out. Your latest reply to Dallas "is 
observation such a bad thing" is a case in point. A while back you invited me 
to use the delete button if I did not find your input interesting or of 
value. Thank you for the suggestion. I accept.
