Interesting article Ghostrider, thanks for posting it. In my travels around Italy these past few months, I've yet to see a family with three children like we have.

Europe has a pension crisis looming throughout the continent which will reach critical mass in the next 5-10 years. Should be good for a revolution or two...ng

Yes, that's a hot topic currently. There was a big stir in German domestic politics recently when a leading representative of the youth organization of the conservative CDU suggested that elderly people should be excluded from certain insurance payments like artificial hips. Lots of noise in media afterwards.
