Asia's Population Density Reaches Critical Mass
Efforts to discourage breeding in East Asian nations prove unsuccessful in stemming the rapid growth rate. It has become so bad that some governments like Taiwan, pictured here, have resorted to stacking people horizontally to save space.
The Taiwanese President, Chen Shui-bian, thinks the move will buy him some time to "really think this one through." He currently works and lives in a 3 foot by 4 foot space in the Presidential palace but is being criticized by opponents for living in such "luxury."
"Something has to give soon," he said. "We've made a cash offer to purchase Idaho, but it's so up in the air."
Idaho governor Dirk Kempthorne says the offer is "tempting, but most Idahoans are a teensy bit skeptical of a cash and carry sale to a foreign republic. And I haven't had time to look into the federal laws on this sort of thing."
