Strangely enough, Paul Ehrlich said the same thing in 1968, and predicted world-wide famine to occur in the 70s and 80s.

Population Bomb

And here we are in 2011 and its getting worse and will continue to get worse until we have some sort of birth control in some of these countries.

Cremations are smaller. ;)
Any way, why do people prefer to be buried instead of being cremated? It does`nt matter when you`re gone.:shrug:

Depends how you look at life. I want to be buried personally, cremation is way too inhumane for my liking.
