? We have lost ? of the world?s habitat to human development.
? We need to reduce human population size.
? Everybody always asks me are you going to have more then one kid. That thinking needs to change.
o Most people are willing to recycle now-a-days but they won?t reduce their family size.
? How do you feed the poor and save the Earth?
o Theses Ideas are not irreconcilable

Modern Fable Song
G C
Who?s got the job... of the mighty Wolf?
G D
It?s the watchful Crow up on the roof! Yu Know
G C
Who thins the dead... like the great Condor?
G D
It?s the filthy Pigeons at your door! Yu Know
G C
Who makes the shade... like the Old Oak Tree?
G D
It?s the billboard ad flashing deals at me! Yu Know
C
Ya Yu Know
G
Or Do you know
G
Nobody?s afraid of the big bad wolf
C
Our leaders make WAR with out the proof
G Am
It?s a Crazy new world that we?re living in
G
Our poor are fat and now longer thin
G C
Who roams the hills... Like the Buffalo?
G D
It?s the fat mad Cows all in a row! Yu Know
G C
Who flies at night... like the wise old owl?
G D
It?s the bloody mosquito on the prowl! Yu Know
G C
Who hunts the fields... like the sly Gray Fox?
G D
It?s the spoiled fat Cats born in a box ! Yu Know
G C
Who makes fresh air... Like the old growth wood
G D
It?s the watered lawn in the neighborhood! Yu Know
G C
Where is the meal... From our garden hoes?
G D
It?s in the Wall Mart shopping rows Yu Know
G C
Where is the hunt ... For the dinner plate?
G D
It?s in the gun shot that sends are young to state Yu Know
