This is an insightful and important article because it address an important topic that's not getting much attention. If this author is correct, we likely have too narrow a focus that won't allow us to handle this problem with the intelligence it deserves.
The idea of put limits how many children people can have isn't pleasant, but it's something we may need to seriously consider.

This is a great story because it speaks to something fundamental to all Americans, indeed all people, namely their intelligence on matters important to democracy.

This article could do better to give its sources at times. But it paints a good picture overall, speaking to McCain's actions immediately following 9/11 as well as addressing how his experience and thoughts on Vietnam have shaped his outlook. Further, it delineates his growing willingness for ... More »
