Is the economy really this good?

Partly true. The superbugs are created due to superfluous use of antibiotics. They are resistant to our current tool kit preicesly because Doctors over prescribe them.

But look out for the flu of 1918!

You guys are just so cheery.

Well I hate to say but I must take issue with my friend zig on this issue.

It is not the poor people in under-developed countries who are depleting the earth's resources.

They actually consume very little, compared to more affluent countries like the U.S.

They dont hop in their SUV and go for a jaunt thru the jungle or hop on a plane and go halfway around the world for a vacation.

I agree with Sherm on this one. It's the affluent and their SUV's that are doing the damage.
