Looks like the Texas statement (which I've never heard, BTW) is off by a factor of ten... area of texas: 261,797 SQ MI sq mi in acres: 167,550,080 quarter acres: 670,200,320 world population: 6,602,224,175 Sources http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&rls=GGGL%2CGGGL%3A2006-43%2CGGGL%3Aen&q=area+of+texas&btnG=Search http://www.easysurf.cc/cnver5.htm#acr5 http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&rls=GGGL%2CGGGL%3A2006-43%2CGGGL%3Aen&q=167%2C550%2C080+*+4&btnG=Search http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&rls=GGGL%2CGGGL%3A2006-43%2CGGGL%3Aen&q=world+population&btnG=Search If yer gonna do this in Texas, we'd each get only 1/40th of an acre. That's 57 square feet. But even if it were true, it's not the living on a mere quarter acre that's the scary idea here, it's living in Texas. (apologies to all who love Texas, to each her own)

There is nothing permanent except change. Heraclitus I seem to be writing to myself, which makes no sense. So for the time being I quit doing it. Will check here once in a while, in the meantime, all the best and thanks for some good interaction.

Where did my comment from yesterday go? Sorry Don, don't know why it disappeared. I had agreed with the first quote, nothing which could have been flagged.

The first quote! All of them are tmely and pertinent, but #1 really hits the truth
