I just checked the population statistics at the United States Census Bureau. Here are the current figures:

  • United States: 322,821,970
  • World: 7,298,425,970

Here are the figures of 10 years ago today:

  • United States: 297,895,645
  • World: 6,491,026,072

Here are the percentage increases:

  • United States: 8.3
  • World: 12.4

Is anyone besides me disturbed by this? I'm glad I won't be alive in about 30 years. The world is going to hell in a handbasket.

Addendum: Ten years ago, there were 20.7 nonAmericans for every American. Now there are are 21.6 nonAmericans for every American.
