The Fredösphere

First, read this.  Hat tip to Arts & Letters Daily.

Now, consider Europe.  Europe is over, people.  In 50 years there won't be any Europeans left to run the place.  Now, we could leave it to the Muslim immigrants, but frankly (and no offense) I just don't trust them to keep three millenia of classical, Christian, modern and post-modern civilization in a well-preserved state.  I expect the outcome would be a lot of saints sans noses in the continent's Cathedrals.

Meanwhile, here in the good ol' U S of A, we've got plenty of people.  We have a large, influential group of people in government and media -- lawyers, bureaucrats, artists, etc. -- who tend leftward politically and reasonably feel they should be running the place but are doomed to declining electoral power due to demographics.  Let's ignore the question of whether and how that is a good or bad thing.  My feeling is, let's make the USA a kind of breeding ground for Europe -- or call Europe a kind of safty valve for the US.  The US will become fully what it already is in part:  a huge suburb designed for child rearing.  Meanwhile, those who are done with their child-rearing years, and especially those who plan never to have kids, will be simply relocated to Europe.  They get the climate, culture, cuisine and politcs that suit them.  Politics everywhere become less contentious.  Everyone is happier.  What's the downside?

I see a period of vulnerability for Europe if we wait for its aboriginal population to disappear.  We should really act soon.  We have learned recently that Bush is destined to be reelected, evn though he is a deformed hunchback with Tourette's syndrome.  He has a full second term, waiting for an agenda to fill it.  Call up the marines, Mr. President!  We're gonna storm the beaches of Normandy once again!
