Embracing Minorities Key to Fertile Nations
Perhaps the 'free hugs' movement is a way to embrace foreigners.
The article is a long and thoughtful one about maintaining population sizes, how the US and France are managing it in different ways, and what Korean could learn from the two disparate* examples.
I wrote more, then deleted it. I still think the title is amusing, but I am not sure how I feel about the article. Is it encouraging births out-of-marriage or merely reporting on it? Am I so conservative that I automatically disapprove of single-mothers? I need to think more about this article and I am not sure that I will be posted the results of my meditation.

*vocab question:
This is the first time I have used "disparate" - it means something like 'diverse', right?

I usually think of "disparate" as meaning "distinctly different," or "radically different," which isn't far off from the meanings given in online dictionaries like Dictionary.com or m-w.com.
I think I used it right, then.
Or rather, used it correctly.
