John, from your article:

"a segment of society in which single-child families are the norm will decline in population by at least 50% per generation and quite quickly disappear.

This dynamic helps explain the gradual drift of American culture toward religious fundamentalism and social conservatism. Among states that voted for President Bush in 2004, the average fertility rate is more

Tomorrow's children, therefore, unlike members of the postwar baby boom generation, will be for the most part descendants of a comparatively narrow and culturally conservative segment of society

the death of the Enlightenment"

Darwinism doesn't work well today - if you're uneducated you give birth to a dozen children, if you're smart you have less children. When I was a kid, I remember only the successful families could afford to have many children, while those that were struggling as a family unit couldn't. Now the exact opposite is true. Did you know that only 49% of women in the upper job echelon have children?

It reminds me of our immigration policy - allow 1.5 million uneducated illegal immigrants into the country every year, but don't allow educated PhD candidates into our country.

How long will it take for the USA to go downhill?
