Enough already
Call me Scrooge, but am I the only one who is appalled by Utah's status as the fastest growing state?
Not to belabor it, but every problem we've got is related directly to over population — traffic congestion, energy shortages, environmental degradation, societal stress and exposure to so many, many ugly people. Here's what you can look forward to:
- Traffic will double by 2040.
- Davis County will run out of farmland by 2020.
- Already overcrowded classrooms will explode.
- Water resources in our desert state will be depleted.
- Restaurants and airline flights crowded with screaming babies.
And what is the official response? State Planning Coordinator Mike Mower: Not for long, I fear.We're pleased because it shows that Utah continues to remain a vibrant and great place to live.

I hate Saturday's Warrior. But a poorly written song comes to mind: "Zero population is the answer my friend."
Not really. If you want your social security when you hit retirment, Glen, you'd better hope people keep making babies.
Somehow the Mormon babies are the source of all of our problems (pollution, crime, underfunded education), but the Hispanic babies bring vitality, diversity, and a strong workforce.
Some babies really are more equal than others.
Yeah...I'll call you Scrooge.
Yes blame all our social and economic problems on babies and mormons. It makes perfect sense.
Glen, I've assumed you looked in a mirror lately. You're no handsome dude yourself, you know.
No, Glen, you're not the only one. I've been ranting and raving about this for years--ALL environmental problems are population problems, and there's no way to make real improvements in the environment without slowing population growth. No warm hearts HERE for cute stories about triplets, quads, etc., etc. Not that anybody's paying attention...I'm the only childless one in a huge and ever-expanding Mormon clan.
Yep, the ever growing Mormon clan. That's bad.
The ever growing Hispanic clan? That's good.
