A whole bunch of folks

300,000,000

"As for you, be fruitful and increase in number; multiply on the Earth and increase upon it."

When I was born in 1968 the population of the United States was somewhere just above 200,000,000 people. As of sometime next week (The U.S. Census Bureau projects the 300 million population landmark will be reached Tuesday at 5:46 a.m.), We will see the population of the U.S. top 300,000,000. I will (God willing) see the population roll over once more by an addtional 100,000,000 in 2040.

Watch the countdown.
