And what encouraged me to post the below poem, was this article from Mark Steyn.

You see the article (registration -free- required) deals with an issue which I believe Philip Larkin intuited a long time past:

"one of the critical questions at the heart of the West's twilight struggle: what is a child?"

Worth registering to read.

Time for some big thinking

Mark Steyn in full vindication mode following some criticisms of his demographically based book, America Alone, links to this UN study of population trends.

Life's going to be interesting, I think.
