There are a couple of typos in this. I sent a corrected version over to TH the other day, but apparently the wrong one got posted. I was on vacation and not attentive to detail, sorry -- I hope they will switch out the correct version soon, I just emailed the editor, but it's Sunday...so...you never know.

If all of those Mexicans demonstrating in the US on May Day doesn’t make Americans rethink their reproductive choices, and if the two elections won by Obama don’t, then I don’t know what will.
American-Americans seem quite content to fade into the shadows, subsidizing their replacement through taxation while they go...
I guess if Teddy said it, it was worth saying twice.
A+ post — typos or not.
Nobody seems to mention the FACT that in each case—Muzies in EU, Mehhi cccans here—the erstwhile population is completely FUNDING their own demise.
They’re ALL on ‘welfare’ of some sort.
Yer FUNDING IT ALL, you jerks!!!!!!!!!!!
If we of the great republics, if we, the free people who claim to have emancipated ourselves from the thralldom of wrong and error, bring down on our heads the curse that comes upon the willfully barren, then it will be an idle waste of breath to prattle of our achievements, to boast of all that we have done.
What Teddy said to the French goes double for the USA no pun intended.
God in a sense is the punisher because it was his commandment to Adam and Eve and their posterity to “multiply and replenish the earth”. To believe there was nothing more to it than a command is to deny Godliness. The American dream dies when real American’s don’t, or won’t, produce the following generations, or worst will kill their offspring prior to birth out of some selfish desire unexpressed and invalid.
The sin of aborting children, illegal in society and religion for over 200 years in this country alone, has by the whim of black robed treasonous bastards, the abdication of Congress to its duty, and the acquiesence of the executive branch, the sin is sin no more so believes the world, and the law has been turned on its head and we are left to reap the whirlwind.
I would like to add a thought to Mr. T. Roosevelt’s.
Not everyone is supposed to have children. Only a select portion of the population are *able* to produce and raise quality children. And we need to go to some lengths to ensure that those people have several children, not just one or two. Society needs to give them largesse and support for this purpose.
Likewise, some people are very good at raising children, but not at having any themselves. So likewise adoption should be given unique largesse and support.
Importantly, the flip side of this is what to do with those who are unable to produce and raise children?
There are even some hints that things like homosexuality, prostitution, and post-menopausal female sexuality may have their basis in *protecting* breeding couples from non-breeders, by distracting the latter. Giving them an outlet for non-productive sex.
It is a well established fact in demographics, that when a nation reaches an economic plateau unique to it, suddenly its birthrate drops from many children per family to just sustainability, about 2.3 children per family on average.
Most recently, this has happened in Mexico and is now happening in much of the Arab world.
However, in the western world, while government cannot easily increase the birthrate to more than this, the government and the culture can *lower* the birthrate even more.
This is done by directly and indirectly making it harder for young people to afford having children, both in terms of money and in terms of energy. The more burdens placed on them, the fewer children.
This is first accomplished by raising the acceptable standards of care and provision to children. “To lead a good life, children must have:” can be very destructive.
But one of the more recent, but very effective means of reducing the birthrate is student loans. Putting heavy debt on potential parents when they are best equipped to have and raise children means that many or even most will put off having them, often forever.
Yet the pressures on young people are such that it is preventing marriage, home ownership, children, a real future, supposedly so that they can get a better paying job. This is a “devil’s deal.”
