very true people are concerned with there being too many people. but it is cities, where there are the most people per square inch, that are often the most creative. Very small countries, like Singapore and Switzerland are often the most competitive. And countries with few natural resources, like Japan, can dominate. I think what all this shows is that the greatest natural resources are people. This resource needs to be free to function at its peak. And the freer the country, the easier it is to absorb and utilize this resource. Which is why we should really have no problem saying "give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free". They are nothing to be afraid of.
