We've Reached the End of White Christian America

Just a matter of Fukushima radiation making all human sterile.  Until then, enjoy your glow in the dark water.

OK. Let's start with you, I'll be the second I promise. You have the necessary technology. Take yourself out please.

I've flat-lined at least three times. My mother had TWO telegrams in a frame, both advising I was KIA-BNR. I wouldn't be easy for ME to kill.

But to point up some limited thinking, why not just reproduce less often?

Agreed, and it seems obvious. White Christian America is more than just a question of population balance. It's a 200+ year legacy of attitudes and behaviors that have defined our national identity and the attitude of our government. Just because white christians stop being the overwhelming majority doesn't mean that America will quickly transform into something else. It's very likely that whatever demographic replaces them will simply pick up where they left off culturally, influenced heavily by the rich who remain mostly white and Christian.

The only good thing about this is that now there is a possibility of meaningful change, though it will be a long way off.

And what exactly would be meaningful change?  I've been around the world some, and I haven't seen any other culture that's better, and most are worse, by far.  Europe was pretty good 20+ years ago, but even the lauded Scandinavian countries are falling apart theses days.  There's a reason why people are flocking to the west; it's because it's a great place to live, even with those pesky white people.

Yeah I defintely agree on that.

A few billion fewer of us would be good for humanity overall.  And the planet.  I'm not suggesting a sudden change...
