Steyn on the "population bomb".

[elhombrelibre]

When you see the effects of the “overpopulation population scare” (e.g., whole nations of people disappearing in Europe), think of the harm that pseudo science or global warming will cause. Forty years ago Liberals crackpots were propagating a fear of a coming Ice Age. The baleful effects of Liberalism are hard to underestimate. Some day we’ll wonder how anyone could have been so gullible as to believe that not having enough progeny to sustain a country for the future was a wise social policy or a public service. This crackpot theory certainly received a welcome audience when it combined with the selfishness of the “Me” generation. And it really explains the pacifism of the non-religious Europeans. If there is no afterlife, if you’ve no offspring to defend, if your nation is dying out, why aggressively defend your way of life? You could get killed. And since this is all there is, why bother fighting anyone. Just eek out your life as well as you can.

We are going to have a population bomb. Shortly, we are going to have the same number of non working retirees taking SS benefits as we have workers paying into the system.

The coming cash crunch of SS is going to bring a whole new meaning to generational conflict.

I am a "population bomb" all by myself.

9 kids, 17 grandkids (& still counting)

But of the last 5, only one is in the U.S. The others are Canadian, Russian and Israeli.

FRmail me to be added or removed from this Judaic/pro-Israel/Russian Jewry ping list.

Warning! This is a high-volume ping list.

I have just begun reading Steyn's book. It is a magnificient read, and, if he is correct, Western Civilization is in deep KimChi.

Moslems (I refuse! to use the word "Muslim") are breeders, and they are breeding terrorists faster than Western Civilization can civilize (or kill) them.

I highly recommend his book and commend him for writing it and Regnery for publishing it.

Pick up a copy of "America Alone; The End of the World as We Know It" and pay attention to what he says. It is that important.

While I think a growing population is a problem abortion isn't a solution, its murder. If we all want to live in nice houses with backyards we can't keep growing forever.

Cut welfare, and stop all illegal immigration and we'll be at less than 2 per mother.

"we are beginning to be crushed under the weight of our own quality-of-life degradation."

I felt this way when we hit 200 million. For that extra 100 million souls we pay in a thousand small ways, with the loss of things which can hardly be explained to those who missed them.

Life begins at conception—NOT birth.
Birth is one day in the life of a person who is already nine months old.

Perhaps people ought to use widely available birth control rather than murder their unborn children.

[Salvation]

No overpopulation at all. In fact, many countries do not have enough people to work.

I made five little resource gobblers, and we drive them around in a Ford Excursion.

WHen Steyn pinted out that Vermont has many empty school houses, he hit my panic button.

Without Vermonters, WHO's Gonna Make Maple Syrup ? ? ??

This is gettin downright series!

Does anyone know how old a Mexican has to be to successfully tap a maple tree?

[Aquinasfan]

Funny how the "population bomb" crowd never sets us an example for depopulating the earth.

[Zechariah_8_13]

Hey, if the Euros hate us, we're doing something right.

I hope this article makes every American conservative want another baby. :D

If you can't birth one, adopt one, and bring him up in the way he should go.

[SuziQ]

The only folks dismayed by the number of Americans are the usual suspects in the 'anti-human beings, except for we elites' crowd, including Planned Parenthood, UN Fund for Population Growth, etc.

[Niuhuru]

What about China? They have loads of people living in small spaces and not to mention a supposed housing crises in Japan?
