{moderator note: Corrected title of thread. Pls use title of article in title of thread You can put your thoughts in the body of the message.}
The most salient point of this article:
This is the opinion of Laura Stanley, a graduate of the College of St. Benedict with a degree in psychology
Apparently just having a degree makes you an expert on everything–even things out of your field.
 
As our population increases, quality of life will continue to decrease: more cars on the road, more pollution, destruction of natural resources and loss of animal species, less space per person and less oxygen in the air we breathe.
If that is the problem, as the author sees it, the solution is to develop less polluting technology, and to put more work into efficiently protecting biodiversity.

Honestly, I don’t understand her complaints. There is much land in the United States with a low population density. Indeed, the population density of much of the Great Plains is decreasing.

If she really feels like the walls are closing in on her in St. Cloud, she should move to rural areas of the Dakotas. I am sure they would be glad to have an immigrant. 🙂
