[War_ooc] Countries, timeline stuff, etc.

[John Penta]

You don't see it as much in the North, though you do among immigrants. Where
you see it is in places like West Africa, Latin America, and Eastern Europe,
all places from which immigrants typically have been coming.

It is, I grant, the iffiest of my posits - there's this gigantic argument in
the sociological journals over whether it's happening or whether it's
reporting issues (as reported by my brother, who's working towards applying
to grad school for a PHD in sociology).

It just seems more interesting to posit that it is, precisely because it
upends the secularization thesis so popular in sociological development
circles.
