		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;I’m more than 50 years now and I still clearly recall receiving the message on the TV and taking it as a fact.&lt;/blockquote&gt;Oh, absolutely. I distinctly remember being at a swimming pool in LaGrange, Georgia (where my grandmother lived) and hearing a commercial for Zero Population Growth on somebody&#039;s portable radio. And I was like, &quot;Huh?&quot;

Thirty-five or 40 years ago, that message was &lt;em&gt;everywhere&lt;/em&gt;. Paul Ehrlich was a frequent guest with Johnny Carson on &quot;The Tonight Show.&quot; So, why don&#039;t you hear that message so frequently and explicitly anymore?

&lt;strong&gt;1. IT WORKED&lt;/strong&gt; -- By 1976, the U.S. total fertility rate had fallen to about 1.7 and not all the pro-life activism in the past three decades has made a dent in the Culture of Death. The recent rise in the U.S. TFR to 2.05 is entirely due to the influx of tens of millions of higher-fertility by immigrants. Among U.S.-born non-Hispanics, any recent statistical upward trend in TFR is (a) minor and (b) mostly a function of marginal factors like deperate pre-menopausal IVF efforts by Baby Boom women.

&lt;strong&gt;2. CULTURAL MOMENTUM&lt;/strong&gt; -- The elite Malthusians spent tens of millions on their anti-baby propaganda campaign over the course of several decades. They especially targeted influential &quot;opinion leaders&quot; like journalists, politicians and academics, so as to create a ripple effect. Once babyphobia entrenched itself in conventional wisdom -- &quot;Well, &lt;em&gt;everybody knows&lt;/em&gt; [insert anti-natalist talking point] . . .&quot; -- there was no need for continuing the propaganda campaign, at least with the saturation intensity tthat the ZPG/PP campaign manifested in the 1960s and &#039;70s.

Generally speaking, the more elite someone&#039;s education level nowadays -- the higher their ranking in their high-school class, the higher the average SAT score at their college, the more years they spent pursuing postgraduate education -- the less likely they are either (a) to have a child before age 30, or (b) to have more than two children in their lifetimes.

I talk to smart young people all the time in D.C., folks whose incomes at age 25 are greater than my own. They will swear up and down that &lt;em&gt;they can&#039;t afford&lt;/em&gt; to get married or have children, and look at me like I&#039;m crazy for thinking otherwise. And whatever you do, don&#039;t try to tell them they&#039;ve been &lt;em&gt;indoctrinated&lt;/em&gt; with this counterfactual belief.

The weird thing is, there&#039;s no difference in this regard between secular liberals and most young people who claim to be &quot;conservative&quot; Christians. &lt;em&gt;Sigh&lt;/em&gt;.</description>

		<description>God told us to go forth and multiply not limit children to one. Did Ted gather his 5 together and tell them that he should have stopped at one? Did he ask for volunteers to leave? Oh, wait, I forgot that doesn&#039;t apply to &#039;them&#039; only to &#039;us&#039;.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;The point, you see, is that there was an organized propaganda campaign, funded and directed by big money.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

In some other previous post, on a topic similar, I asked who paid for the commercials for planned parenthood and zpg that I was inundated with as a child in the 60&#039;s.  You&#039;ve provided some answers - thank you for that.  I&#039;m more than 50 years now and I still clearly recall receiving the message on the TV and taking it as a fact.  Talk about organized propaganda - I still clearly remember it!</description>
