.........Consider Switzerland .......they have tight control of their borders and, as such, have a much greater quality of life than the US. And the quality of life CAN be quantified and can be checked on world lists for such things.
..... thank you

Well, as usual I mostly;y agree with you. but...
I don't know we are overpopulated, I think it might be more than we hav a huge uneducated populous. The dumbing down of America is well underway. But, I expect there are a lot of opinions about that.
As to Switzerland, there are maybe 14 or 15 other countries that are also much better off today than Americans. How far the great has fallen, and all the while we fight with each other constantly, which isn't helping matters.
Hmm, that pesky question keeps coming up - as Deep Throat said "Follow the Money"... or, who is profiting by US spending all our time fighting each other, instead of agreeing on what we can agree on, and fixing things.
I guess it is hard to sit down with people that eat children faces... ahem...
