And I bet 1 out of 100 people have even ever heard of him. (http://www.nytimes.com/2009/09/14/business/energy-environment/14borlaug.html?_r=2&hp)

RIP, Mr. Borlaug.

Oh, so he's to blame for the population explosion in Mexico that ended up here.   :P

Seriously, I hadn't heard of him either.  What he accomplished seems to be quite remarkable.

It's estimated that he has saved over a Billion lives...

I agree. The world is overpopulated, but I also think that life is valuable...for the most part. I have very mixed feelings about it.

But yea...a billion lives....top that, Jesus.

Not deleting emo kids NeoPets so they commit suicide is not the same as saving their lives.
