womb to tomb

according to NPR the US birth rate, which was at its lowest in 2002, is now increasing.

so that's why i've been so busy at work.

also according to NPR, the teen birth rate in the US spiked in 2007.

i wonder if it will increase exponentially after the whole "juno" craze. i heard two girls in a coffee shop in danville saying it was "like the best movie ever."

so i'm wondering why this is. not why juno's like the best movie, but why the birth rate's increasing.

is it that we're healthier than we used to be? nah.
is it because people are like, "if britney can do it, i can do it better"? hmm...
is it because we have better childcare, schools, husbands, houses, benefits? definitely not.

it must be all the cute maternity clothes.

i've been thinking about one of mao's slogans for communist china:
"more people, more power!"

so, think about the ban on birth control education in schools. think about the abstinence myth. think about the attack on legal abortion. are these really moral issues or a strategic investments in the future?

the more bodies we have, the easier it will be to take over iraq/iran/oil-land...


"halliburton. what else do i have to say?"
