All of which problems have some basis in overpopulation, which magnifies 
the impact of greed.

The main reason not to discuss overpopulation here is that it is something 
that is nearly impossible to do anything intentional about, so we might as 
well just address its consequences and figure out how to live with it 
(which, of course, is ultimately impossible).

Oops! Have I just discussed overpopulation?
