Pat,

I in no need meant to imply that either Paul was induced to help with
genocide. Just thaty we get conditioned to tolerate things. There are
decisions made everyday to turn our back on conditions which should
be abridged. such as famine and disease. I am sure that many of the
implemntors of these policies or non-policies have to rationalize
some how for their own sake. I personally think malthus was correct
in his model but man cann certainly feed the earth's citizens and
save the environment also. It just takes the "will" to do so. I do
not feelt hat Paul Erlich had any secret agenda. Paul Cherubini I am
sure is a compassionate lover of mankind as well as butterflies. I
just question some of his data and methods.

Bob
