    US to hit 300m people

    Lee, did you see this?

    WASHINGTON (AP)..."The [US]Census Bureau projects that America's population will hit 300 million at 7:46 a.m. EDT Tuesday. The projection is based on estimates for births, deaths and net immigration that add up to one new American every 11 seconds.

    The estimated 11 million to 12 million illegal immigrants in the U.S. are included in official population estimates, though many demographers believe they are undercounted.

    The population reached its last milestone, 200 million, in 1967. That translates into a 50 percent increase in 39 years.

    During the same period, the number of households nearly doubled, the number motor vehicles more than doubled and the miles driven in those vehicles nearly tripled."

    I didn't know they were growing that fast, did you?
