Like the Bible is supposed to say is "God helps he who helps himself",
but does that mean gluttony in a material way, or ruining the planet for
his own good? We will run out of usable land, even with modern farming
techniques, and I for one, enjoy my bicycle rides where the nearest
human is at least two miles away.
Of course the dimmer people following this thread would cut down the
trees and farm it, claiming they "improved" it.
