I found this at :
http://www.pool.org.au/text/peter_ravenscroft/the_elephant_that_is_not_i n_the_room and thought this to be interesting. Any comment from demographic specialists???? Nine million people in Haiti? Pull the other leg, it has a goat tied to it. http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ha%C3%AFti About a million people are not getting food and water, by Red Cross estimates, of the 3 million in the Port au Prince and nearby quake-devastated region. But the question is, where are the other 6 million Haitians? They appear to have not one radio station between them, and from Google Earth, there are clearly no other large towns. And, there are very few fields along the rivers. or anywhere. I may have this badly wrong, but it seems possible this is the elephant that is not in the room. Maybe there are 2 million more people, in small cities and towns and in the rural areas. But something like 4 million people seem to be missing. Not since the earthquake. Before it. Maybe they live in Atlantis and have no email or radios. Or relatives in the city. .......
