Earth 2100

If you want to get down to liveable, the entire population could fit within the boundaries of Texas and maintain a population density equal to that of New York City.  The rest of the world can be manned by robots who'd grow food and mine resources for human consumption.

I'm actually ok with this. That way I can continue to live in the lovely north east with my robot overlords. Robots can shovel and plow without effort and all I have to do is upkeep their solar arrays! BWUAHAHAHAHA!

If you had been here when 150,000 Katrina evacuees came in at once with very few places to house them and seen what happens when too many people have too little space indefinitely, you might not be wanting to cram everyone into Texas. 

Seconded.  If I wanted to live in New York, I'd be in New York.  Having to share space anymore than I do now would be hellish for me.  When the world ends, you'll find me with Tom and Kary wiping Bender's ass in the robot camp.

When I start to look for a nice little plot of land to build my dream house on, I'm not gong to look for a nice .5 Acres to nestle it in. Instead I'm going to be looking for 30, 40, 125 Acre plots of land. That's basicly so I can build my house smack in the middle and keep everyone 15-50 acres away from me. If you get close enough to see my house it'll be cause I let you. No one is going to come knocking on my door asking me if I want pamplets from the Chruch of Christ of Latter Day Saints anymore. Hell I'd already be living in a self imposed Citzen Kane style exile from the world in my own private Xanadu right now if I could afford it.

And you'll still have dial-up.

We get the--well, I don't know what they are.  I don't know if they're Mexicans or what.  The majority of them are not bilingual.  They're from some church or other and are at our door almost once a week.  They actually came by just today.  Usually, it's Sunday morning or afternoon.  I'll answer the door most of the time, but everyone else here hides from them.

[Rama]

Sunday morning? Shouldn't they be in church.

And I figure if I can buy 100 acres of land and build my own Xanadu on it, that'll I'll be rich enough to afford that sat. Internet then.

[B E C K]

Some people go in the evenings.  Well, when I mean "some people", I mean "some Roman Catholics".  I'm not familiar enough with other religions.

[Rama]

Or that Sat. Church. They do that there? I know they do here.

[B E C K]

Yes.  The people I know alternate going on either Sunday or Saturday, morning or evening, to whenever suits their schedules.

We get Jehovah's Witnesses every three weeks on Saturday mornings.  Makes us happy to have 5 very expressive dogs and big front windows.  They leave so fast they don't even drop off the Watchtower.
