Better start that fertility dance NOW!

Today I heard an author on NPR espouse the following: Around the world, conservatives, especially religious conservatives, will eventually far out-number liberals.

How can that be you may ask. Easy.... Demographer Phillip Longman says fertility trends are pointing us toward a more conservative future. He fills Linda Wertheimer in on his findings.

Basically his theory is as follows: Conservatives have more children than liberals...many more - be they Christians, Jews or Moslems. And although some of the conservative kids will eventually see the light, the majority will be just as narrow minded as their parents.

So I beseech thee, go forth and multiply. That's the only way liberals will inherit the earth. Of course there's a little problem of over population, but maybe a few more wars and epidemics can take care of that.
