Let's Colonize the Universe

Folks complain about over-population, of too many people and not enough
jobs, resources, etc. Let's face it, people are not going to stop
procreating, so the over-population problem is just going to contine to
escalate.

Historically, the solution governments used to control over population
was to kill off vast numbers of peoples, usually by starting great wars
where millions were culled off untill population levels reached
manageable proportions.

We need to devise methods and provide incentives to governments and
peoples to stop the killing and colonize the Universe instead.

The colonization of Mars would be a great place to start.

Just imagine if all those hundreds of billions of dollars spend annually
on wars and killings were instead used to send folks to Mars. Our
governments would no longer need to be involved in the wholesale
slaughter of human beings... and they could be focusing their creativity
on much nobler purposes instead.
