yup....ZPG has been attained in the US for quiet some time now. The
population increase is due to immigration. I understand the same is true of
other technicaly advanced countries...and it's starting to become evident
other places too. I've even heard mention that it's conceivable that the
population will "peak" in the foreseable future...
