as there's simply no way we can provide a 1st-world standard of living for 100 billion people
Not to argue with your main point but FWIW future projections for the next three centuries estimate the world population to peak at 9.22 billion, or in alternative scenarios as high as 10.6 billion. Either case 100 billion is an order of magnitude off.
Sorry to ruin your schadenfreude but from TFA it doesn't seem like a case of daddy handing in the keys to his spoiled brat:
About 10 minutes later, Lesli heard the door slam, and footsteps out the back door. She walked toward the garage, hesitantly, and locked eyes with Nikki, who was backing out of the driveway in Christos's Porsche 911 Carrera--a car she was never allowed to drive. Lesli called out to her, but Nikki looked away, accelerating out the cul-de-sac.
It was an impulse, can happen to anyone no matter how good parent he/she is. Also the cocaine addiction might not have been simply a result of bad judgment and free will:
In third grade, Nikki was diagnosed with a brain tumor that doctors didn't think she'd survive. It turned out to be benign, but 8-year-old Nikki had to undergo intensive radiation, and doctors told her parents the effects of that treatment on her young brain might show up someday--perhaps by causing changes in her judgment, or impulse control.
Things are not as simple as we might think by reading the summary.
Link to your legitimate profiles from your single personal home page/site and put a fat disclaimer there stating that any other profile with your name and/or information not explicitly mentioned is not yours. Assuming search engines do their job right and rank your home page before any skanky impersonator, problem is pretty much solved.

Twitter is the most useless waste of time and human resource.
Naah, Facebook beats Twitter hands down as a wasted time sink.

If it wasn't US troops, what was it?
Apparently, the global warming and the resulting the decrease in pirate population.

If I remember correctly, the extreme feminists (extreminists? exfeminists? crazy bitches?)
I believe the scientific term is "Feminazis".
