unresponsively ubiquitous

There aren't any numbers that start at the letter red.

If you had to choose between the ancient Roman version of Decimation or voluntary population control, which would you choose as population reduction becomes necessary for human species survival?

How much TV do you watch on a weekly basis measured in life-units where a life-unit is the measure of time you equate to a happy moment with someone in your family? After answering this question, do you think you should watch less TV?

If the Roman army lost a battle, the commander of that battle would line up the soldiers in long rows and would count the soldiers off, one by one, every tenth one would be slain. This was a method used to encourage that army to do better the next time.

Voluntary population control is a societal means of reducing the birth rate; it is an agreed upon measure by the components of society whereby each of us makes the personal decision to procreate less such that our birth rate is exceeded by our natural death rate.

There aren't any letters that start at the number 21 in the Italian alphabet.

Decimation would be far more efficient.

I'm not sure, but it doesn't seem like a lot of my time is spent in front of a TV... more like a computer screen, which is much worse 'cos at least watching TV can be a group activity among friends/family.
