You said:

Looking at the earth as a stable-state 'bucket' of anything (water, gas, energy, etc) is absolutely an bass-ackward way of thinking about things.
I agree with you on that.

The atmosphere is free to "escape" if it has enough energy. It is only tied to the Earth by the "force" of gravity.
