Happy 300 Million U.S.A.!

Today, as of a few hours ago, the United States of America has a population of 300,000,000 with the 300millionth being born - although it's not known exactly who or where. I doubt we'll ever know considering the population probably isn't even exactly 300 million, but the maths there is foggy. May he or she grow up to live in a world where civil liberties are respected and demanded. May he or show grow up in a world where people of all sexuality, race and religion live equally and share the same rights. May he or she be able to live a prosperous life and to not be disadvantaged because politicians think the rich deserve to be richer and the poor deserve to be poorer. May he or she grow up to not die before their parent. May he or she grow up to be whatever he or she wants to be. May he or she not have a Bush relative as their President.
