Also Late: Somewhere

At this very moment, somewhere in the universe, there is a baby being born. It's amazing, too, that I can say that with such certainty, because if I were to make that claim a century ago, I may not be right. But as of right now,  there are more births in one day than there are seconds. Part of this can be attributed to the fact that some countries don't have the same opportunities for proper family planning that we have here in America, but the reason that our births keep going up at an exponential rate is that we human beings have the incredible ability of increasing our species' carrying capacity. While there may be a limit on how much we can increase it, it seems that as of now, the rate of population growth isn't about to slow down anytime soon. Perhaps we will eventually hit that cap, but for now, we can only hope that every baby being born during every second will eventually grow up and continue to contribute to the success of the human race.
