Thread Name: BS: Western Democracy's Achilles Heel
Subject: RE: BS: Western Democracy's Achilles Heel
"Nation of Aztlan"??? My goodness! Well, they may be partly onto something...I have chosen to have no children, and 2 of my 3 cousins on one side of the family have had no children either...but it was by choice, not due to infertility. Other cousins of mine have had average about 2 kids per family.

As the material security of people goes up, the birthrate tends to go down. This is an observable phenomenon. You don't see many North Americans having large families anymore. When 3rd world populations achieve a higher standard of living, they too will start having smaller families.

They will become "us". How ironical.
