The idea that rich yuppie urbanites have fewer kids/generation-year than poor or rural folk is not new. Newsmagazines probably cover it yearly.<br /><br />But it's not even a question of liberal vs. conservative. It's an urban professional thing. Their are conservatives who spend their lives running up the career ladder in NYC and NJ, and have kids just as late as the liberals. On the other hand, their are liberal teachers and union workers in Texas who start early.<br /><br />Anyway, Mike Judge's (Office Space, Beavis and Butthead) next movie, 3001, is about this subject. The premise is that dumb trailer trash have lots of kids faster; smart suburban professionals have fewer slower. This applies an evolutionary selection pressure and by 3001, everyone is an idiot.<br /><br />I read the script last year, when I was working in 'the biz'. It's got good potential.Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09630008489920013400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5773875.post-1094248050571423152004-09-04T11:47:00.000+14:002004-09-04T11:47:00.000+14:00Of course we are not two seperate species here.
