>>Such diagrams are always far too simple to describe what is really going on. What's really happening is a messy seething mass of 6 billion individuals interacting with a biosphere of vast trillions more and a little planet with limited resources in the middle of nowhere. We don't fit into such triangles.<<

OK, but that doesn't mean the triangle is wrong.

>>It's a lot more fun in the left hand corner of the triangle [speaking from experience]. <<

I think so, too, speaking here from the left corner of the triangle.

>>The triangle needs to include a variable - free flow of people [because they do flow]. <<

Assuming (as I do) that the triangle is a natural law, is not the free flow of people one of the potential safety valves that nations can turn to in order to make things work?
