Default US population now over 300 million!

Any thoughts on this milestone? I'm one of those evil bastards that thinks that the world population is way too high, so this is a distressing development from my standpoint.

Well, I won't be contributing to the expanding population. Beyond that, there's not much I can do about it.

Good, more meat for the coming cannibal revolution. :cannibal:

The big problem I see is that the US can barely support the people we have economically (and fails in many regards as was exposed by katrina) and without fixing the system more people wont help.

A good 90-95% of that 32 mil lives within a 200 miles of the border with the United States.

They are cultural thralls. For this I pity them.

There was a guy on C-SPAN's "Washington Journal" this morning that said that the 300 million number came from the Census Bureau and that they do count illegals. (but since nobody has an accurate count of illegal aliens, our population total is probably a bit higher)

If we take over Canada, we'll have a lot more room.

What good does Iraq do us? What is Rummy thinking?

Y'know, my brother always pointed out that Canada was proof of the United States' ultimate good intentions. I mean...Right next door. Common language (mostly). Common legal background. Vastly overpowered.

It really is a surprise that Canada continues to exist as a separate entity from the US.

And for that, I envy them.

Of course, others have suggested that Canada is merely a puppet shill to the US for other overseas meddling. A token independent nation.

Many comments on Canada. In December of 1775 the US Army under Generals Benedict Arnold and Richard Montgomery came within a heartbeat of capturing Quebec and the 14th British colony. In 1813 during the War of 1812 the US Army under General William Henry Harrison invaded Canada a second time near York. However, after early successes the Americans were booted out of Canada by British, Native Americans, and Canadian forces. Oh well, they say the third time is the charm. Canada here we come!

Which has a greater population? Canada, or the U.S. prison system?

I think they're about even.

Can we trade?

300 million USers? That's up 50% in my adulthood.

Just what the planet needs....more USers.

Hey...I've done my part.

Canada has more oil than Iraq anyways, but it does little to further protect Israel from those who dare to stand up to it.

Usually the criminals go where the diamonds are.

Well, unfortunately the illegal bastards are automatic citizens if they're squeezed out on this side of the border, so I didn't think that he was referring to them.
