Neo, you are obviously innumerate. Whether you or your town has had children is irrelevant. Get some data on, for example, Japan. <I think you are the one out of touch. My town's reproduction rate has shot up by 30% or more during the last decade. In fact, I'm quite certain that reproduction rates in the USA as a whole are increasing again. > I'm sure you think you, your town and the USA are the be all and end all for the planet, but in fact the whole USA has only 5% of the planet's population. You can look in whole countries in Africa and see wildly burgeoning populations. But even they are small compared with India which has got a major population growth reduction underway of gargantuan proportions. And even India is smaller than China, where they have had a stringent one-child policy for decades and they are coming up to Peak People [even if they don't get H5N1, Sars, a big war, a bolide tsunami or an ice-age]. Japan is already up to Peak People and is on the way down. As are many countries, especially if immigration is discounted. Anyway, even if people do decide to have more children, that's a good thing.
