Funny y'all should be discussing this at the very moment I'm reading the Overpopulation segment of PJ O'Rourke's All The Trouble In The World.
He has a lot to say about Paul Ehrlich, none of it complimentary. Toward the end of this section, he writes,
"In other words, people are -- present company always excepted -- just awful. Especially if these people happen to be not-quite white. Notice that Paul Ehrlich is not panicked by being caught in the squash and jostle of rich folks around the bar in the Churchill Downs clubhouse on Kentucky Derby Day. Nor is Charles C. Munn worried about the opening night crush at New York's Metropolitan Opera. And Malthus, when talking about a race of unwashed brutes who live in a miserable spot and don't have enough sense to come in out of the rain, is not discussing Highland lairds."
(This is well out of context. Without the rest, O'Rourke sounds kind of like an idiot. But if you read the rest, it makes good sense. At this moment I know more about how Bangladesh is run than I do my own government.)
