<div class="moz-cite-prefix">I rewatched <i>Soylent Green</i><i></i>
from beginning to end, taking notes as I went, in preparation for
a paper I did in grad school a few years ago on resource abundance
and poverty in scifi (that paper was adapted for a presentation
for the

Georgia Tech Research and Innovation Conference and then again for
DragonCon 2013). I was struck by how pervasive they made the
privation seem and how the changes that had taken place between
when the film was made and when it was set are referred to and
inferred. <br>

Every time you stop a school, you will have to build a jail. What you
gain at one end you lose at the other. It's like feeding a dog on his
own tail. It won't fatten the dog.
