  How does the theory of reincarnation fit in with the population explosion?

Thousands of years ago, there were about as many people as there now in Iceland, as there were all over the world.

If we keep being reincarnated, we must be reincarnated as more than one person, at once.

Maybe this is the reason for migraines.

I read something once about a person that was reincarnated as a squirrel.

That kind of makes sense.

But, if you can be reincarnated as a squirrel, what is to say that you can not also be reincarnated as any type of organic matter, say a tree?

I have known some lovely trees in my life that I am sure were once lovely people.

Whenever I get upset with a person I meet in my life I always imagine them being reincarnated as something not so pretty.

Say, a dung bettle.

Also, I know some people who are so persistantly cranky that I am sure they will be reincarnated as crabgrass and grow up through the cracks in my sidewalk.

This is why I buy Round-Up.

I go out there and squirt those crab grass people before they are already dead.
