Whew! I don't know TH, my grandfather and grandmother had 8 kids, and most of their peers had 5 or more, then my father and mother had 3 kids, and I would guesstimate most of thier peers were similar. But today, me, my sisters, most of my peers - .5 kids on the average I would say. Something is causing the slowdown in births of my personal experience? What is stopping the teenagers? Better condoms? Hehe I wonder as Egypt and Rome and Middle Ages China grew and developed - did thier internal breeding also slow? As there were more and more gladiator games and many scrolls and much travel to do - did the people want to breed as much? Think about it, nintendo and playstation and macy's and abercrombie and fitch - or dirty awful breeding that can lead to ruin of your body for the woman and ruin to your life and finances if the man. Much better to play another round of mortal kombat and get another halter top no? I have to admit, on the way home tonight I passed several pretty good looking ladies on US19 in the clearwater area who would have been "LOTSA" fun I am sure, but sitting at home playing some neverwinter nights and watching some stargate just seemed to be "easier" to me - hehe.
