Read makes an all too true point - POLITICS, POLITICS, POLITICS - but the
reality of the matter is that the resource is not naturally scarce - it has
been made scarce artifically by politics - and politics can change it again.
Remember the old radical 1960's slogan "What would happen if they threw a war,
. . . and nobody came?"

What happens is the war stops, four kids get killed at Kent State, a President
bites the dust . . . and 20 some years later Otis Elevator is back fixing lifts
in Hanoi (business as usual).

I think it is all a matter of what you accept as reality Dwight, and reality is
at least partially socially created.
