That "don't reproduce" issue is a personal issue that has moral an even religious implications. In general the USA has many contrasts in their people. Many north-americans are plainly stupid, others are simply brilliant, I have never understood how such a variety can exist. I also don't understand well how they go from joke to deadly serious in the same sentence. In the rest of the countries everyone seems to have the same intelligence levels, but education makes the difference. > > I also don't buy the argument that Americans have to breed in order to > keep parity with some of the other countries who are knocking out new > babies faster than an army kitchen breeds roaches.

Humans are sedentary by nature, we simply don't go elsewhere because we live very well here: we have excellent food, excellent health services, satellite TV, beautiful and faithful women, pure air (well this is changing :-(), and some of us are even subscribed to FreeBSD :). Why would we go to the USA? Only the people with very low level of education that can survive doing stupid jobs like cutting the grass in your lawn would want to live there. Last time I went to the USA everyone wondered just how I speaked two languages, where did I learn to operate a refrigerator or a TV without RTFM, and if our primary mean of transportation were trees. Everyone kept asking me to stay in the US, well believe me NY is not very different from Bogota...Actually NY is more dangerous and it has more drug addicts. I have never seen cocaine in my life, except on TV ! Pedro.
