I forget

Yup.  Everyone could live in Texas. (I just hope Texas won't let most of 'em in)

Old Tex here sets out to prove that there is no population problem; never has been.  In fact, he says, the entire world population could fit and live nicely in the state of Texas.  He does get a little sidetracked however.

I think Tex was referring to what come from some book I read once from the liberry.  I forget what it was called, but  it was writ by the famous  Sum Gai,  long around Jummy Carter's time.  See, back then, friends and mentors of  Al Gore had proved that the world was going to end next week.  That was in a book, the Population Bomb.  Some people was hysterical and jumped out of windows and such. I'm not making that up.  By the time Jummy was president though, and that bomb had fizzled out,  them's what was warning about it went to warning about global warming because global cooling had also not worked out.  Well, now I've gone and got myself all mixed up, and prolly dragged you with me. Anyway, buncha people have done recent arithmetic on the Texas deal even now, like this guy. “ > CONCLUSION: The total world population could move to Texas and make Texas in > to a functional MEGA city that acre by acre would look much like New York > City does today.

And that city would be as safe as New York City is > today, Skyscrapers and parks included.  (2007) Don't feel bad, I'm confused too.  I guess we have to decide who to side with here.  Tex's people, even with all that bible spoutin', or real smart people like Al Gore and Paul Ehrlich.  Wait.  What the hell does all this have to do with the Obamacy Bomb? Sheesh.
