What would you say, "go ahead, make my day?" The fact that you continue living indicates you wouldn't help eleviate the "destructive" 4.7 billion people problem. As it is, *you* are a living organism, why should you get to live.....did you earn it? do you deserve it? It's interesting that we spend million protecting animals, putting seasons on different game, but human life is always in season, and there is no limit....... priorities, people...
