Population Update

As for yesterday's blog, I was a little off on the population of the earth. For some reason a year or two back, I knew the population of the earth to be about 6.4 billion people. That number has stuck in my head ever since. Unfortunately, since man has the uncontrollable urge to breed, that number has gone up and is now at about 6.8 billion people. So ... in conclusion, within a short span of time, man has created another 400 million people. That's FOUR HUNDRED MILLION ... or 400,000,000 PEOPLE!!!!

The really good news is that around the year 2050, or about the time I've lived a full and complete life, we're estimated to be around 9 billion people, or not quite 1/3 more than what we are now. Let's just hope I die at an early age before the breeding situation has gone totally out of control.

Oh yeah .. and if you read yesterdays blog about every square mile holding 618 people, well the stakes just went up a bit. Now every square mile needs to hold 661 people. Ain't life grand?

So I really don't see much difference between humans and the 1000's and 1000's of crickets or grasshoppers that appeared on My property so suddenly this year. It's just like looking at the human population, just on a much quicker time line. Maybe we'll all get lucky and the swine flu will take out about 1/2 the population of earth this winter ... it seems we're about due for a good global cleansing don't ya think?? Amen.
