Earthlings are having too much sex? Okaay

According to a letter writer from Murrells Inlet, we have something new worry about. No, it is not Global warming - it is Global Sex.

That’s right; we just have too many people on the planet.

I think we should blame the Chinese. After all, there are 1.37 billion people in China.

How are they solving the problem? The communist government said recently it was OK to double the birth rate. Yes, instead of allowing one child per family, there can now be two because they were running out of workers.

Capitalism will do it every time. India, with 1.3 billion residents, is undergoing an economic surge. Economic growth is almost 10 percent. They, too, will be looking for workers. Maybe we could send some American citizens to India to help out?

At least that might solve our over-population problem?

Finally, we can not forget the “ Bible thumpers,” who are part of the problem, you know, with their scriptures and traditions.

I think the letter writer from Murrells Inlet might be confused. I think he was referring to Harley week. Murrells Inlet was over-populated a couple of weeks ago because of Harley.
