Pogo said it first. "We have met the enemy and he is us". OUR response is PUP, Prevent Unintended Pregnancy. The USA finally, 50 odd years after China, approved a birth control pill as available over the counter without a prescription. As a physician, I urged such since 1977; even I was a bit slow on the uptake. Celebrate our falling birth rates as many tribes have instinctively recognized the pressure our overpopulation places on each other and our planet, including such a treasure as the San Gabriel Mountains. Also include the stress on the Colorado River Basin, Lake Meade, and Hoover Dam electricity. See "God Made Men Too", "The Price Of Eggs Is Down" and "Every War Is An UnCivil War" on amazon kindle or paperback.

Jess, when you get to Maine, please find a rocky coastline where the waves crash below you. They will probably usher up the fragrances of salt and seaweed. It's refreshing and cleansing.

The "Cliff Walk" accessed from York's Harbor Beach will deliver. Enjoy.

If ALL tribes PUP, we have a chance to save our species and our civilization. Half of all world pregnancies are now unintended.
