You, apparently, missed our discussion about population peaking. I don't feel threated by a malevolent state, if it is like the US. They can tackle USD250 income per capita country after ten years of sanctions and embargo, and a country that can't damage business. Put a few soldiers in sandals and eating only rice and they get their clocks cleaned. You read too much of the Club of Home and Malthus stuff. I'm surrounded by those Malays full of kids, BKK was also filled too capacity and I don't see a tragedy. Look I've got only one kid, I prefer quality rather than quatity. She can study in US curriculum school because US school system is good. She might not know how to tell time, but she is very articulate, persuasive and I think that's what we need. After all the US has 13 Trillion USD economy with that school system. There will be too many Chinese and Indians doing stuff, she;s got only to understand the construct and articulate it.

Politicians want us to breed at an even faster rate. They offer tax incentives etc. Failing that, immigration is encouraged to beef up the numbers. This policy is like the borrow and spend mantra. And, it comes from that necessity, because somebody has to pay for the future costs of debt and old age. Somebody has to keep up our standards of living. So, be a good citizen......do your part. gg

<<If we follow the Bush model of American Empire...>> Each family should strive for 4 to 5 kids. Two or three to be sacrificed to slick patriotism, geopolitics, and judeofascist gods. So one or two can proceed with their lives and beget grandkids.
