"Blogger" just connotes a regular guy who just writes about his opinions. Readers themselves may be bloggers. But "theoretician" connotes something much more serious, sinister even. Sort of like "mad" scientist.

Brady, Manning, Elway, & Marino were all that height. And while there are/were hall-of-fame caliber QBs considerably shorter than that (Montana and Brees come to mind), there definitely seems to be diminishing returns above that height. 6'4" is probably optimal because you are tall enough to look past the front-line behemoths to the open field, but not so tall that coordination and agility are sacrificed. 6'6" Joe Flacco and Ben Roethlisberger may have won Super Bowls, but I doubt they'll ever be hall-of-fame level QBs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-21422726266527301132013-09-11T09:35:42.316-07:002013-09-11T09:35:42.316-07:00Orange County’s rates are lower than the state as ...Orange County’s rates are lower than the state as a whole: 3.0 for Asian Americans, 5.7 for whites, 13.9 for African Americans and 41.2 for Latinos.

Joel also states that La and Orange County have less Hispanic and Asian immirgants coming which is bad for them. Joel spends and harps too much on having kids when it would be nice if whites had more kids but more immirgation by Hisapnics and Asians will not caused whites to have kids. By the way, yeah Dems have less kids but Rush, Ann C and some other Republicans don't have natural kids either. Republicans also don't have the 3 to 4 kids they did 10 years ago, they are having less kids as well. Democrats harp less on having kids and support it less because of environment. The Republican way and the Joel Konkin way will increase births among Hispanics more than whites. Texas youth 5 and under are now only 31 percent white. So, convincing Latins to have less kids and whites to have a little more but not the 3 to 4 would work better.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-46130537729905130952013-09-10T21:07:00.227-07:002013-09-10T21:07:00.227-07:00"He seems dismayed by the family attitudes of..."He seems dismayed by the family attitudes of his ideological confreres.

(Americans were always pretty tall because we ate well.) But stuff -- beds, chairs, doors -- was built even smaller back then that average height would imply to save money. You can visit his Springfield house from the 1850s.

I think what is happening in Brazil can be brought more to Mexico and even among rural Mexican immigrants. At the most Mexican immigrants will have 2 to 4, few 5 as they did in the past. The kids generation which will have more babies in the immigrants by 2020 will drop at least to the black level. All around the world, except the Philippines and Central America are having less kids. Filipinos have less kids in the States and someone could convince Mexicans and Central Americans to do particularity if their politics moved leftward. One thing Mexicans are leaving Catholicism and moving Protestant or secular which means less babies, less against birth control.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-47857762355349754682013-09-10T18:47:25.019-07:002013-09-10T18:47:25.019-07:00Interesting, US born Asians have the lowest birth ...Interesting, US born Asians have the lowest birth rate and Black birth rates are lower than expected.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-83355473996361703822013-09-10T18:38:22.564-07:002013-09-10T18:38:22.564-07:00I believe the Brazilian model could be introduce t...I believe the Brazilian model could be introduce to Mexican immirgants in the US, get those Soap operas with one kid on Telemundo.
