The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.

Interesting that even internally America follows general world patterns with the developed states not breeding so much and the developing states going at it like rabbits.

Texas has one of the best economies in the US, once again you don't know what you are talking about.

By Jos' beliefs, Mississippi, West Virginia, Louisiana and Alabama should be growing like crazy.

Maybe not. Huntsville AL is the most educated city in America, remember?

Damn, LDS putting up some big numbers.

Probably, but I think the map mostly indicates that a lot of younger people are moving into those states.

If you're going to not be serious, use a smiley. Your not serious posts are too similar to your serious ones for us to tell. :secret:

I didn't mean children but young adults who were likely to have young children. People in the Northeast still have kids, but if they can't find a job they may move to Nevada or Utah for work. So the states with growing populations are getting younger while the states with stagnant populations get older.

If anything, I would think people who travel for jobs are going to skew single and childless.

And Utah is doing well, but Idaho and Nevada?

Nevada was doing quite well 10 years ago when these young parents were settling down to start pumping out kids.
