And this little gem:

"My dad was actually the one who put a bug in my ear about the whole citizenship thing. He said that Europeans are more interested in the quality of life than the quantity, and that it was a good place to have and raise children because of the way their social systems work. I don't care much about the child-rearing part, but I would gladly trade in some of my material possessions for a little flat, a scooter and more vacation."

“I don't care much about the child-rearing part, but I would gladly trade in some of my material possessions for a little flat, a scooter and more vacation.”

This is called “sustainable growth.” This is the type of mandatory lifestyle environmentalists want.

What, that doesn't sound good to you?

America peaked long ago. As the next generations of uneducated dolts come of age, the country will be truly lost.
