    hmmm... I wonder how current it is - and how it would/has changed if it isn't. The only thing that makes me think it's more current than 30 years old is the reference to a computer.

    Answered Whatever. I don't think.

    I would probably be the ruler of the village, and I'd make sure that everyone make love to populate the earth again. Heck, we need someone to pay taxes. :)

    - good information. We, in US, rave about everything we do not have adnauseum (not that we are perfection by any stretch) What we rarely think about is how much we have in relationship to the world population; we just want more. I dunno if that is really bad or good - sure makes us push the envelope when it comes to striving for success and gaining possessions. Very interesting!

    ok. Thanks for clarifying. But let me just say that the use of the word "homos" doesn't quite lead the reader in the direction you intended. It's not exactly a "welcoming" term.

    "from reproduction stand point, they won't"??????????????????
    If I'm not mistaken, most homosexuals are the offspring of 2 heterosexual parents.
