ah, guilt by association, innuendo and just plain old leaps of logic. i
am from a developing country where there is an environmental movement,
and there is a population control movement (initiated among others by
the socialist govt), and they are not the same. the latter could be
wrong in their assumptions, and perhaps even the former (the
environmentalist) -- of course one could not wring such an admission of
uncertainty from the *real* leftists. but hey, why deal with the
subtleties of these issues, when we can promote infighting with the
left? you call me a malthusian. i'll call you a stalinist. fun!
