watch it there buddy.... I have not recieved my food stamps or my government cheese yet and statements like that tend to make me go off!!

I'm not too worried about the US population size. In terms of population density, the US is still pretty darn low. When looking at the top ten most populous nations, it ranks #8 in density and has a density that is lower than the overall average world population density. In short, there's plenty of room for the people. The places I'm worried about are the China's, India's and Bangladesh's of the world. So-called under-developed countries with unbelievable population densities. Those are the places that are just itching for a famine or epidemic to break out.

In the long run though, population growth is actually slowing. If current trends continue, the world will top off somewhere around 9-10 billion sometime after 2050. In fact, growth in "developed" nations has already just about stopped, all that growth will occur in third and second world countries.

as my father and mother and a ton load of GOP die hards from the day s of old have stated.

BUSH IS A Blemish on the GOP. Today's GOP is not my father's or grandfather's GOP.

+1 on both views.
The US is too big land wise to have any real concerns, except for political and financial. Nothing that a few new Taxes couldn't handle.

But these other Nations like India in particular, are as you say, just itching for a famine or epidemic to break out.

I just let a balloon go in the air in honor of the 300 millionth being born. It was full of mustard gas, so wherever it lands hopefully it will knock a few folks dead so we can maintain the population growth under control.

It needs to happen folks. Kill a few strangers today to keep things under control. We can't have a starving population like China and N. Korea. Kill your neighbors today - we'll all thank you for it later.

Tis a good thing so long as people move southward and westward (assuming you're coming from the east coast). It will actually allow the United States to expand its welfare services over the next 50 years while Europeans will have to contract welfare services. With a population due to drop 15 million over the next 4 decades an aging Europe will have less than 2 working adults for every person over 65, and will have to resort to immigration to make up for it. The ratio in America will be nearly 3:1.
