The United States hit the 300 million mark this morning at 7:46am! I am ecstatic because it ushers in a new era of change. Many people are rightfully concerned about overpopulation, however, yesterday NBC reported that Holland has a population density 15X that of the United States so we will be okay. However, I worry about the environmental concerns especially global warming. We must make a more concerted effort to reduce greenhouse gases, and car emissions.
As a futurist and an optimist, I am looking forward to the year 2043, when the 400 millionth American is born because by age 66 I will have accomplished an abundance of things. As Quincy Jones proclaimed to Oprah Winfrey on the Color Purple set, “Your future is so bright, you’ll burn your eyes just looking at it!”
