[*BCM*] Motivation to ride CM

[Evan Griffith]

I think the point about people breeding until they exhaust their resources
is valid and we are witnessing it right now.  Collapse will happen if we
continue on our path and we have not shown a willingness to alter it.  Not
to say we shouldn't, not to say we can't but empires have exhausted their
resources in the past and we may do it again.  Further Equating people to
Rush Limbaugh is not a counter point.  Its knee jerk and I hate to see it.
