Here are some fascinating statistics: give every person in the world 1 square foot (enough to stand in), and you can fit the entire world's population in Jacksonville, Fl. Give everyone 1000 square feet (which is more than many people have in their homes), and you can fit the entire world's population in Kansas, Nebraska, and a 10-mile strip of South Dakota. We are not headed for over-population any more than we are headed for global warming. Instead, as Anne pointed out, we are headed for a demographic winter. The only people having babies in abundance right now are right-wing evangelicals, Roman Catholics (some of them), and Muslims. Can you say Roe V Wade by-by soon? We'll conquer them by the cradle!
