“The world is losing population,” Gov. Mike Dunleavy, world demographer for a day, claimed at a press conference last week. “Some people are celebrating that. They think its’s probably the best thing in the world to eventually give this whole piece of ground called the world back to the birds and the bees. A lot of us don’t think that’s probably the best for civilization and humankind. But we need more people,” Dunleavy said.
