What a piece of work

(CNSNews.com) - John P. Holdren, the top science adviser to President Barack Obama, wrote in a book he co-authored with population control advocates Paul and Anne Ehrlich that children from larger families have lower IQs.

The book—"Human Ecology: Problems and Solutions"—argued that the United States government had a “responsibility to halt the growth of the American population.”

All statistical data doesn't demonstrate cause and effect.

I suspect as the US segregates into a serf class and a management/owner class that the serf class will have larger families and also a lower IQ.

I came from a big family and a friend of mine was an only child whose parents (both of them) were teachers. He did OK in school and probably went to college, but he did have to work at it. Let me just say that I know all eight of my kids are very intelligent, but all of them are not wise, at least not yet. The least of the Lord's saints has greater wisdom than the sum total of all the democrats and assorted anti-God heathen in Congress and the White House combined. How's that for demonstrating IQ?

You also seem very wise. I think I know where you stand on this and I want to thank you for posting and letting me respond.

We both know that statistics and probability only apply to groups and never to individuals. Good for us!
