I forgive him because of his position in time. But there is no excuse for the Left still following a vision that has proven itself wrong.

Fair enough. I quite agree.

Just get tired of people blaming Dr. Malthus for making observations and predictions that were entirely correct given the information he had available.

For people to believe otherwise, at the time, required an unrealistic faith in the ability of human reason to deal with such issues as they came up.

As it turned out, the coldly realistic Malthus was wrong, and the unrealistic optimists were proven right, in general.

So far.
