Michael, the article you posted about the low birth rates of European women is a good example of how important it is to look at the big picture. Even though the world is less than 20% white, it is a big deal because these are white women who are choosing not to have children. It is really another example of the racist way in which we perceive the world. Forty thousand children under the age of five die every day of easily preventable diseases. But they are brown and black and yellow and red children, not white ones, so their deaths are not viewed as so important to most people.

It is inevitable that Europe's borders will gradually fall and more immigrants will get in. That is already happening, since because of the new European Economic Community, they get in through the weakest hole in the dyke, figuratively speaking, and then can live or work in any European country. What we are witnessing may be the death knell of white civilization, but certainly there are vigorous people of color everywhere who would love to take their places.

Sorry, but I don't think this has anything at all to do with the radical left, or Greenpeace. Environmental activists are trying to stabilize the planet so that the pollution and global warming don't destroy the quality of life for future generations. Why bother to do that, if there aren't going to be any? Do you just always automatically blame anything and everything on the left? Why don't we blame the lowest birth rate in the world, Italy's, totally on the Catholic Church? It is just as logical!!

Michael, your post about the aging problem was very predictable. You didn't think this one through very well. There was predicted to be a population problem if the birth rate stayed the same. It didn't. Among other reasons for the decline, did it ever occur to you that people became more responsible in planning their families, because of the warning, huh?

Greenpeace is anti-children now? I suppose so if an expert like you says so.
