300,000,000 People living in America

Or, How Many Roads Must a Man Walk Down...

According to some group that has a Mission (or maybe just an Axe to grind), on 10-17-06, at 7:43 a.m., EDT, the 300,000,000th living American will enter this world. The group offering this "fact" also tells us that this 300,000,000th living American will be born in Los Angeles, of Hispanic parents. Making it a 50-50 shot that he or she will be born of illegal alien parents.

Which makes not a whit of difference: We'll be 300,000,000 strong.

China & India probably have 7 times this amount. The EU has about double. I'm not taking the time to find out about Africa, South America and those parts of the east that aren't China and India.

In other words, we're vastly outnumbered. But you sure wouldn't know it, would you?

Are we to be admired or pitied? How will this all play out on our plasma TVs?

No. But would you admire us or pity us if we did?

Andrew says that he went online and found out that he's been accepted at Cal State San Francisco. He says it's conditional on his keeping up his GPA and graduating. Liz is still hoping he goes to CSULB...
