Not Just French Culture is in Trouble, Western Civilization is Failing

Update:  The Globe has a neat article on this very subject (coincidence?).   The author claims the above scenario is a fairy tail but he doesn't provide any reasoning or proof to back that up.  He does however question the assumptions and then claim that religious fundamentalists of all stripes will  not dominate the future.  The fact remains that we just don't know one way or another.  Here is a little rhyme I remind myself of when dealing with statistics.

A trend is a trend is a trend.But the question is: will it bend? Will it alter its course through some unforeseen force, and come to a premature end?
