I think that if people really think about it, it is Quality of Life that is their objective. This blog will try to look deeper into our decision process and why Quality of Life is not considered more.
If we look back at the history of the USA, we will see that the Quality of Life has not really improved. How can that be? Look at the Native Americans and how they lived compared to today. Many tribes did not do farming, but some did. Most got their food right from Mother Nature by hunting and gathering. They had so much food compared with Europeans of the time that they were much bigger and taller. Only one European in 10 back in 1492 was as tall as the average Native American. That was because the Europeans were near starvation. Who had the higher Quality of Life?
The bottom line on Quality of Life has historically been based on population density compared to the ability of different areas of the Earth's ability to support life. The USA is one of the best large areas when it comes to supporting Quality of Life. We have some of the best land, weather and natural resources of any large country in the world. Think about it. We can support a higher density than most places, but at about 75 people per square mile, it is down from here. If you notice our Quality of Life has started to go down in many ways.
When I talk about Quality of Life, I refer to the median or average person. We all know that the very rich will always have a high Quality of Life and that the poorest will not have a very high Quality of Life, so stop just looking at the extreme individuals.
If you look at the emigrants who are illegally crossing our borders, you will see that most come from countries that are currently over populated where the average Quality of Life is well below that of the USA. What do you think the net impact of this migration is? It raises the Quality of Life of the immigrants while lowering the average Quality of Life for you and me.
If you understand that we need to stress "USA citizens first", then you understand that our Quality of Life means keeping down our population density not allowing it to rise by letting more immigrants in. This whole Green movement is being promoted as a means to maintain our current Quality of Life while allowing illegal immigration to "cancel" out all those costly efforts. That is insanity!
Any long term political decisions need to focus on our Quality of Life and that means avoiding over population.
