Absolutely agree there... Stands to reason that what's often seen as the region which spawned the Human race is the first to exhibit all of the signs of Malthus' predictions. Kinda gives us a pretty grim vision of what the future could hold for the rest of the world if current trends continue, IMHO the 'third world' is fast becoming 'the future world'...
