Interesting, since it appears the the non-democratic states (i.e., China) by
and large have overpopulation problems, whereas the democratic states (i.e.,
England, USA, Canada, etc.) do not.  I should also mention that as Issac
Asimov is dead, he has indeed contributed his part in solving the population
problem.  :-)
