Read about this in Comcast News, they said that the mark may well have already passed, & that the 300 millionth American may well have been someone crossing the border illegally...but that's a topic for another thread. What I found interesting was that the gov. is just gonna let this milestone pass without fanfare...back when we hit 200M (ca. 1967), LBJ had them announce it with a major press conference, complete with fantasies of how we could meet the challenges...as it turned out, they were also several months late in guesstimating when the odometer would click over...
