Population: Six Billion
Last month, the world's population reached the six-billion mark. What do you think of this landmark?
Bill Cardassian,
Cab Driver
"Decades ago, those guys in Zero Population Growth said the planet was critically overpopulated at 3.5 billion. Guess that shows them."
Carl Turner,
Podiatrist
"At least we humans are doing a better job than those ants."
Ben Magadan,
Carpenter
"Thank God. I was wondering how we were going to staff all those new Old Navys, Targets and Barnes & Nobles."
Alexander Ormond,
Systems Analyst
"Six billion? And you know where all of them are? In the goddamn checkout line in front of me, that's where."
Jill Eppard,
Student
"And of those six billion, only 10, maybe 11 tops, are cool."
Felicia Mott,
Bank Teller
"Nothing is more precious than teeming, overpopulated, resource-destroying human life."
