He is a linguist and has become America's greatest accademic disgrace. <BR/><BR/>The book is not written or marketed via forced coercion like Chomsky. It would also help if you read the book in question. <BR/><BR/>Gomer Kerry also wrote a movie review as well. I seem to remember a Boston Globe review of Apocalypse Now.<BR/><BR/>Redwine<BR/><BR/>Part of the reason Europeans have so few children is the huge safety nets eat up taxes. The other part is that it is easier and more fun to buy second homes and every gadget.<BR/><BR/>Muslims are used to living with less. They will take what is offered via the safety net. The problem is as they gain numerical superiority they will want to change the culture.<BR/><BR/>Ameican families pay through the nose for health care and ever increasing College costs. The price of housing as a percentage of income is also crushing. <BR/><BR/>Europe will have some genuine problems.

I wasn't persuaded to remain childless--personal stuff. Nonetheless, most of my college friends have no children, or only one child.

I truely believe we will see this within just a few years. <BR/><BR/>In most countries you see the immigrant assimilated into the culture and laws of the country. However, with the muslims in Europe the immigrant is assimilating the indeginous population into their way of life. <BR/><BR/>We are seeing more and more of this in this country. Look at the southwest where I live for one. The mexican is not assimilating into American Culture they are demanding that we assimilate to theirs. Ask AOW about Northern VA where a large muslim population is assimilating the local way of life into theirs. And let us not forget MN where we now have our first avowed Muslim congressman who indeed wants to change US law and the Constitution to better fit with Islam. <BR/><BR/>Just some early morning thoughts.Justinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06996194671140885087noreply@blogger.com
