Life in Billions
My mother sent me a forward. For the most part, I am opposed to being forwarded things and I will delete them. Mom, however, rarely sends anything I find annoying. Here is an excerpt from the last thing she sent me. Its meant to give you a perspective on how bit “One Billion” really is and how much the billions and trillions our government is churning through really is.
A. A billion seconds ago it was 1959.
B. A billion minutes ago Jesus was alive.
C. A billion hours ago our ancestors were living in the Stone Age.
D. A billion days ago no-one walked on the earth on two feet.
E. A billion dollars ago was only 8 hours and 20 minutes, at the rate
our government is spending it.
