The title of the editorial of the December 10-17 issue of Maclean's is "The End of Families." The editor writes about statistics concerning low rates of birth and marriage. Forget the end of families; what about the end of humanity in general? The baby boomers are dying of things like cancer, heart disease and dementia. Similar problems are cropping up among generation xers, as well as ms, cystic fibrosis and various other diseases. Many young people these days are obese, which has lead to speculation that this generation will be the first one that dies before their parents. Also, possibly as many as one in every 67 children has some form of autism spectrum disorder, to say nothing of children with other intellectual disabilities and other problems. Many of these children will not be intelligent enough to raise children, and the ones that are will have problems socially which will lead to trouble finding a spouse.
Emma Titel writes in the same issue a column about working from home. In typical Jewess fashion, she complains about working from home, even though this is what she does. Also, Titel injects levin into her column by acting like working from home is a recent thing. Actually, it used to be everybody worked from home. Most people farmed, and merchants and tradesmen lived above or behind their shops.
This issue also contains an article about the widening gap between the rich and the poor in South Africa. South Africa was better under apartheid. Now, the things that are done to white farmers and other tragic goings-on are never talked about in North American media.
