Marina Malenic’s review of the coming population implosion raises an important point that I haven’t seen in similar articles: the fact that religious people have higher birthrates. This may be what saves the world.As a fundamentalist father of three, I can vouch for the concept that a traditional (dare I say “patriarchal”) extended family based on Biblical moral values is the best model for a prosperous society. Not only are traditional family-oriented people more entrepreneurial, they generally make more productive employees and make fewer demands on government services. As the secularists, liberals, et al. die off, their numbers will be replaced by more of us orthodox types. As our numbers increase, our growing political power will allow us to institute more conservative policies that will improve society.
p>If my outrageous statements manage to goad our liberal friends into making more babies, not to worry. If liberals manage to breed bigger broods, they will tend to adopt more traditionalist values. Having kids can do that to you. br> — Jim Moroney br> Cumming, Georgia /p> p> NONAGGRESSION FACTS br> Re: Ben Stein’s
