  • Ellen 2/28/08: "Thank you for the Silver Lining episode, it was just a wonderful change in news. It also several questions I recently pondered as a child of the 70's and 80's. Have birth rates gone down, what are the numerical results of China's single child policy, and why aren't we starving as people speculated in the 70's. It is nice to see that the progress has occurred."
