I’m a numbers guy and Tuesdays GOP primary led me down some rabbit holes. Here’s the wildest statistic I’ve discovered thus far.
South Carolina’s total population growth last year was 79,958. Fastest growth rate in America. Our natural population growth (births minus deaths) was plus 564. Wild eyed southern boys and their better halves native to South Carolina ain’t having anywhere near enough babies to keep the state I love “southern”. Not even close. As the great philosophic poet Bob Dylan proclaimed, “the times they are a-changin”.

God sends small children into the world to expose men. you think you are holy until a three year old throws a bowl of cereal at the wall for the third time. you think you are patient until you have not slept for five nights straight, and the baby is still screaming. every half man, is found out by his own offspring. children are judges, sent in miniature to read your verdict out loud. God could have judged us from the throne. instead, he sent us toddlers. more effective
