It's About Time (But It May Be Too Late)

The demographic time bomb of China's one-child policy (rather, one-live-birth policy) is finally achieving formal governmental recognition. Check http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/asia/article6726244.ece for a news item.

While I was in India several folks remarked that one of India's advantages over China in the long haul was its "demographic surplus." Unfortunately, this side-benefit of democracy may be offset by illegal but rampant female feticide. And don't think that female feticide isn't becoming more common in America; see http://www.christianitytoday.com/ct/2009/august/12.16.html

Liberty is not equal to autonomy but sadly too often is understood that way.
