Last night Darling Hubby and I were out running errands, and I commented on the fact that the world’s population has hit the seven billion mark. Earlier in the week, we had discussed news stories that as recently as in 1800 the world population just topped one billion. In less than 130 years, it had doubled. In just the last 12 years, the planet added another billion residents, and some scientists estimate that 10 percent of all of the people who have ever lived are alive today. Such numbers have sent my head spinning and sent me into periods of pondering the implications for the future and for my kids.

However, Darling Hubby summed up the implications best last night when he said, “And you just KNOW that every single one of those bastards are going to end up in line at Disney World.’
