Bloody hell Pete, that's scary !!!

Way cool!....But humbling depending on what you're looking at.

Cool. Not sure how accurate it is, obviously much of it is based upon estimates, with very broad ranges of acceptability. The things that jump out at me:

1. Total oil depletion in 38 years. Hhhmmm....not so sure about that. I'd think more like 50-100 years.
2. Population of India and China combined is 3X the US and Europe combined. Wow.
3. ID theft (which is really just fraud with a different label) is by far the most frequently committed crime. Not surprising, most criminals are lazy, as well as bad people.
4. Illegal immigrant population is 5X our total prison population. Obviously putting illegals in prison while waiting for deportation or charging isn't gonna work.
5. Only 1 in 3 people in the US is a tax payer.

Good stuff!

It must be based upon some statistical estimates and progressions. The reality is that it does show a trend even though the actual numbers may be somewhat inaccurate.
