>Dear friend of Liberty:

>CELEBRATING 6 BILLION: MORE THE MERRIER
>
>The UN has designated a child born in the Bosnian capital on 12 October
>1999, as the 6 billionth person on earth. 
>
>In this article, BARUN S. MITRA, argues that when political freedom is
>secured and the market is unrestrained, more people increases demand, and
>therefore also the supply, and at the end there is more available for
>consumption than ever before. People are the ultimate resource, they just
>don't come with a mouth alone, but also a mind and a pair hands. Rather
>than mourning, it is time to party and cut the cake on the arrival of the 6
>billionth person on this planet. Rather than blaming population growth, it
>is also a time to focus on the policies that have deprived basic freedoms
>and forced millions in poverty amidst abundance.
