Will the Last Western Man to Leave Please Turn Out the Lights
I came across this excellent piece from Tech Central Station which analyzes the empty cradle syndrome here in the Western World, and considers the serious ramifications in Europe and elsewhere of western depopulation. This dovetails with a piece by Mark Steyn in which he argues that Europe is finished, and will probably be completely gone in 50 years or less.
We may well be on our last legs; with Europe sliding into a morass of beaurocratic ineptitude and political correctness, Islam continues to grow and expand, and will eventually take over. Russia has even greater population problems (what with abortions outnumbering births) and both the Islamic world and the Chinese are pressing hard. American fertility is a bit higher, but we are likewise being inundated with peoples from Latin America (of the three, I think we are the most fortunate; our invaders want to work and live decent lives-not overthrow us and institute sharia.) Any civilization requires a certain number of people to continue. Those people must pass on the values and traditions of that society, or the society will perish. We in the West have lost all confidence in our values and traditions, and think that ``tolerance`` requires we commit cultural suicide. That, coupled with a non-replacement level birthrate (the wages of sin...) means that our civilization will go out not with a bang, but with a whimper.
With Islam poised to conquer in Europe and Russia, with Chinese men rampaging in Asia (remember, hardly any girls are being allowed to live in China thanks to the one child policy), and with the massive surge of dirt-poor Latinos invading the United States, we are facing a new Dark Age.
A Dark Age with nuclear devices and bioweapons is a frightening thought.

Why that sound just so... 'progressive' or as Amigo said, "progressively worse."
Let's hope there is some hope left still, although I agree that things look pretty grim. One thing that western governments need to do is to institute tax politicies which will heavily reward families for each additional child. Make it easier for families to have children financially, instead of giving all these freebies to seniors who are a drain on the population -- I mean let's face it -- there are no more starving widows anymore, and why should working families with children be paying for free Viagra for the oldsters lined up for the Early bird special. Everything you say is true -- but trends can be reversed -- we can hope that people wake up and rediscover the joys of parenthood and passing along a good way of life to their children.
