That’s right.. 7 billion strong, here on this planet.. Food shortages.. water problems.. some population booms in lands hurt by storms and disasters.. Oh yes, indeed, those here, all 7 billion of us, have quite a story to tell.. And those coming onto the planet, or back again depending on your religious beliefs, have some tough times ahead.

But that’s the way it’s always been here… here on this beautiful blue ball, surrounded by space and time, and ravaged by war and crime.
