    If we limited every woman to 3 children prior to sterilization, the population still would likely fall, all things being left the same. Educated women choose to have fewer children.

    But cultural indoctrination is a powerful force, and once people reify a system of belief, it's very difficult to get people to question underlying assumptions or learn vicariously from others.

    China did a brave thing, limiting the number of children and arranging for all people to learn English so they have a common language. The U.S. could learn a few things from them!
