Coincidence? Most likely. But nothing would make the militant warmies, the PETAs, the neo-Greenpeacers etc... happier than to see the world population decrease. Sadly, if these groups have their way, that's exactly what will happen. And, it will be accompanied with incredible and unnecessary human suffering that would make Lenin proud.

T, you must be as busy at the office as I am. You could have stopped at John Waters because none of the rest were famous by 1970. I would have been willing to buy Julius Morton but not Wheelock. Funny that Kerensky and Lenin were born on the same day.
