Save planet earth one elkspage at a time. | Love letters to black brothers.

Here I am, writing Love letters to my black brothers. Why brothers and not sisters? Well, why not? What if that is for another person or focus group to tackle? I'm tackling brothers. Black brothers. So, talk to me. Black man, lie to me. Tell me you are worth saving.

 Black man, lie to me. Tell me you are worth saving.

Let's talk. Suppose you should wake up one morning and look around you, and find out that five out of every seven of your family members are gone, they are not there anymore. Why five? Great question. Stick around, you'll see. Alarmed by this, by the missing people. You would have taken to the streets, to search out the road, you've got to find out what is going on. A cry soon rings out across the waves, and then another. Soon, from every angle, someone was crying out. Your further investigation would have revealed that they too, each of those who were there crying, had lost five out of seven members of their families. It would not be long before you would have noticed further, that five out of seven people in the entire village was gone, and in the region, and the county, and the world. Nonsensical fogginess from a messed up mind, right? Hold on a minute, don’t leave just yet. What if I should tell you that this is not that far-fetched at all? What if I tell you that this is actually happening now, as you are reading this? Slowly, perhaps so slowly that it will not become immediately noticeable to Joe average. Scientists and statisticians know it though. What if it’s happening that slowly? Starting not with a whopping five out of seven. But more like .0005 of 1%? Or so. Just enough for people like you and me, us. Just so that we won't notice it. But it is happening nonetheless.
Want to take me up on this? Go to your search engine and search for sustainable population growth. You are likely to find enough materials there to keep you interested and reading for days. Now, look carefully at those results. Spend a bit of time to click on each of those links or a few of them, in the results in order to read further what they are talking about. And you most likely won't even need to scroll away from the first page of the results. I am going to be focusing on one of those links in this article, if your interest has been pricked enough and you feel like going further in your investigation, you might want to bookmark this page and come back to it later, or better yet, hit the subscribe button to be notified of each new post. Of interest to me in reading and researching this issue, is not only the subject matter itself but the focus points and the interest groups. I have been focusing on one of those interest groups here since I first started along this part about a week ago. This is one of the websites, one of the more authoritative sites on the issue.
World population balance.org. But there are others such as Population Matters and the Center for Biological Diversity. Take a look at these for starters, I believe you will begin to see the gravity of the issue much clearer.
You can read those too, if you like, or go to one of the many other such websites which you are likely to find there in your search results. They may lead you back here no matter where you choose to start, just click the links and go check them out.
