© Richard Grossman MD, 2009
 
 “I do not understand why there is very little discussion, or even acknowledgement, that unless the human population on this planet can be limited to a sustainable number, there will be wars and death over food and water.”
 I agree with Rick, a fellow Bayfield resident, [...]]]></description>
