Thank you, @whatamidoing, not only for your up-vote and your comment, but also for orgnaizing this contest (which I can now feel comfortable saying since its over ^_^).
Heh... It is certainly reasonable to ask oneself if the author believes in thaw which s/he writes about. I like to think that an author of any integrity will discern in one's choice of topics and ingredients that one chooses for inclusion in one's writings.
As such I at least feel that the various elements mentioned bear some merit of consideration.
As for whether there is a global concerted effort to reduce the populations of the non-elite classes, such remains open to speculation. I'd ask Warrill about it but he is still royally ticked off at me for sharing info on 'Wilting Weed'. ;cP
