I woke up this am thinking about the fact that we are well over 300M people in this country now, with, as I mentioned earlier, more guns than people.

If this continues, what is it going to be like when we reach 400M? Half a billion? India already has over 1.2B people and China over 1.3B (est).

In China, in 2011, there were 144 people per sq km of land; India, 411 per sq km; US, 34 per sq km. The highest density of people, though, are on Macao, with 19,510 per sq km and Monaco, with 18,631, Singapore comes in third, with 7,405. data.worldbank.org

How will we be able to “get along” if the US, with one of the lowest population densities in the developed world, can’t do it now? Have we become so comfortable, so bored, so steeped in our relative wealth, our technology, so immersed in the idea of the inviolable sanctity of property that we must continually push the envelope of our own behavior?
