More Brilliance from Mark Steyn

In this column, Mark Steyn lays out the problems facing the West from declining demographics. I've made many of the same points in the past.

I must admit, when my wife and I made a goal of having four children, we didn't do it because we wanted to save Western Civilization. We just thought it would be a good size for a family. Due to some medical complications, it took us longer than we thought, but we're happy we did it. And considering the demographic trends in politics, having children is increasingly like voting.
