Seven Billion Is Such A BIG Number…

Which one are you?

There were 2.5 billion people in the world when I was born in 1947. We are scheduled to hit 7 Billion in the next day or two. That’s almost a three-fold growth in just 64 years. I just hope we can sustain and support the continued logarithmic growth.

Something to think about.

Try these books on for size:

Good reading… but be warned: These two books will haunt you long after you’ve read them. Although they are fiction, they are very believable and plausible.
