Hey Lefties; Put Down What You’re Doing and Start Procreating.
Here's a scary thought. From an evolutionary standpoint, religious conservatives have a distinct advantage over secular liberals; They tend to have more children. Around the world, especially in Europe, progressive societies are experiencing negative population growth (less then 2.1 kids per couple.) In the United States this trend is countered by the Bible-Belt and Bread-Basket States where opposition to birth control and patriarchal views on family still prevail. For those of you who wonder how it is possible that so many people in this country could have possibly voted for Bush in the 2004 election, or how so many people could hold such regressive views on issues such as gay marriage, this issue may be a predominant factor. If this is the case, it doesn't bode well for the future.
