What's your point? You dismiss his theories entirely, simply because his actual numbers may not have been 100% accurate? Do you contend that burgeoning population growth world-wide is not and will not be a problem of monumental proportions?

I do, and thanks for stating my case. With population at an all-time high (and leveling off, by the way, according to a report last month from the UN), people are not only not starving, but are better fed and enjoy more natural resources than ever before. Malthus erred in assuming that technology was a constant; the vast leaps in productivity have been possible because this is not so.
