Giving birth to the conservative ruling class
A new article argues that a conservative "baby boom" is poised to transform global society.

    I am curious to know how he supports this conclusion, but I can't say it's got me worried just yet. There are many reasons why people have large families, but conservative "values" have little to do with it. Cultures where enormous families are the "norm" are, almost without exception, located in regions of extreme poverty and high infant mortality. As educational and economic opportunities rise, people opt for smaller families. Voting Republican has nothing whatsoever to do with it.
