Terry, Thanks for the response! BTW, I've now read the wikipedia article on Malthus and now see how some tie him into Darwin. Also, it (like you) remind me of the denialists--it's hard to know which is right. I strongly believe in necessity being the mother of (most) invention, but don't know how to characterize the laser.
