#1 Never before in human history, though, has a new generation simply failed to appear.

Yah. it was aborted.

#2 Well you wouldn't want more yucky people eating noble plants or poor animals while exhaling that toxic carbon dioxide stuff, would you?

#3 Nature abhors a vacuum. Another tribe will move in and take over. Like in California.

#4 Never before in human history, though, has a new generation simply failed to appear.

It didn't "simply fail to show up". Uncoupled (!) from religion and given access to jobs via affirmative action and relieved of any negative consequences for unplanned pregnacies by politicians who championed birth control and casual abortion and unquestioning welfare and man's fault divorce, women have been free to act upon more primitive, uncivilized hypergamous hard wiring and upon simple human greed. Screw around until you're not that good looking any more, then find some sap to have one or two designer kids, then divorce the husband and take his stuff and get back to screwing around.

And unscrupulous men have gone right along.

Whichever nation finds a way to make every woman who is fertile enough to do so desire to (and actually have) three or more children in a stable family - and in a culture which values families instead of the apparatus of state - will inherit the world.

Sexist? Nah. Realist.

#6 no mo uro, "Kinder, Küche, Kirche" has been advanced before to solve massive economic issues that placed a strain on a nation.

Caused quite a bit of trouble for others before it was defeated, as I recall.

#7 Kaiser, Krieg, Kanonen was more the problem for men, although the feminine role of Kinder, Kuche, Kitche (und Kleider)were associated with the Nazis.

Not that I intend to correct the Professor! I merely recite from Wikipedia.

#8 wiki says that the 3k's were not 3rd Reich, but belonged to the previous generation. in any case, it was the "Kaiser, Krieg, Kanonen" that really caused the problems IMO

Au contraire, the Romans suffered a population drop as a result of new diseases, and were unable to keep out the barbarian hordes.

The Byzantines suffered a similar drop in population and the Arabs moved right in. One of the reasons the Muslim conquest was so rapid, is there was actually very little fighting.

#10 G. Summers said " the situation in Europe is a solvency Crisis, not a liquidity Crisis". I don't agree with some observations but the derivative idea is great. People who can't afford to retire will work till they drop. Those who have retired will continue to work part time to keep their incomes from dropping or due with less then much less. Then some family may require help. Retirements could all be gone in a flash with a economic tsunami anyway. When you retire these days you must stay in the game.

#11 The monster IS the financial system, the US financial system of fraud and misrepresentation AND the welfare state in Europe.

Oh yes, the rampant materialism and mass abortion of a new generation.

We're getting there but we're about 5 years away from it.

#12 It's got nothing to do with abortion and everything to do with transfer taxation (to fund the "welfare" state).

Basically transfer taxation harms money velocity (wealth creation), we can simulate wealth creation with increases in debt, until it needs to be paid back (when the opposite happens), if you want to keep simulating wealth creation then you need an exponential amount of debt.

How does a state do that? Easy! Just lower reserves.

What happens when the interest rate gets lower than the lending risk? Systematic bankruptcy combined with an economy not only facing the REAL level of hampered wealth creation but also having to pay of vast sums in interest.

#13 Greek Bank Run is progress.

This will make things much more difficult to manage. Just like putting money into gold. It does nothing. Money out of circulation.
They still find gold buried from when Rome disintegrated. This is important to watch because the world is tied to this and its people will react in similar fashion. So how will governments deal with this.

#14 So, I guess anyone who points out demographic realities is a proven Nazi, in your eyes?

Didn't take long for Mr. Godwin to show up.

So then, what is your solution to the problem?

#15 No mo, it's not the demographics point that invited Godwin, but your quip about hypergamy and its detrimental nature on the society if unchecked. lotp is after all a part time feminist (she may claim otherwise, but watch what they do, not what they say).

I appreciate that you see the things in more fundamental light. I do interject the topic in my posts on the net, but for the most part, people think I speak alien.
