This is where I think there is a major disconnect on IPv6.   The size  
of the pool is just so large that people just can't wrap their heads  
around it.

2^128 is enough space for every man, woman and child on the planet to  
have around 4 billion /64s to themselves.   Even if we assume everyone  
might possibly need say 10 /64s per person that still means we are  
covered until the population hits around 2,600,000,000,000,000,000.
