14. And the reason for the "grew 43%" is the destructive Hispanic birthrate
During the period 2001-2004, Spanish-culture people accounted for HALF the total US population increase, though representing less than 1/7 of the population. Their 2003 birthrate was 3.6X the non-Spanish-culture birthrate. (http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2005/06/09/national/main700582.shtml)

That's destructive. There's no other word for it, except maybe 'insane'. I think blame for it can be assigned with confidence to the natalist, anti-woman character of RC church dogma, and to the culture of 'machismo' with its lunatic emphasis on getting women pregnant.

We're already well over the earth's natural carrying capacity, sustaining our tightrope act with technology. What happens when we can no longer afford the energy to run sewage treatment, water purification, pumping, garbage removal, etc?

The last thing we need is more human beings!
