Reply #67: This same argument is used by white supremists to say

that there will be fewer white babies because white people aren't breeding like the brown people. Maybe you should look at the backlash aspect. Often children will adopt different political and religious views from that of their parents.

I can imagine if I were growing up in a cramped apartment with lot's of brothers and sisters, forced to wear hand me downs, and couldn't afford to even dream of going to college, I would be looking at my better off liberal classmates and thinking, they've got something there.

As a matter-of-fact, my classmates back in the forties and fifties all came from families that had an average of four or five kids. They used to envy me, an only child, because I didn't have to wear hand me downs or share my stuff with siblings. Families were very conservative then with stay-at-home moms and divorce considered scandalous.

Most of them grew up to become hippies at the time, to embrace the counter culture and when they did get married to limit their families to one, two or maybe no kids.
