Make Room! Make Room! - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Make Room! Make Room! - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: "Make Room! Make Room! is a 1966 science fiction novel written by Harry Harrison exploring the consequences of unchecked population growth on society.[1] The novel was the basis of the 1973 science fiction movie Soylent Green, although the movie changed much of the plot and theme.
Set in then-future August 1999, the novel explores trends in the proportion of world resources used by the United States and other countries compared to population growth, depicting a world where the global population is seven billion, subject to overcrowding, resource shortages and a crumbling infrastructure. The plot jumps from character to character, recounting the lives of people in various walks of life in New York City (population around 35 million)."


The movie, Soylent Green, is about global warming and what happens when natural resources are depleted. I found it ironic that the lead character is played by Charlton (dead head of the National Rifle Association we are as conservative as you can get) Heston. These "conservatives" are so full of shit it can make your head spin. They have no principles or values that last beyond their next need.
