Malthusians Defeated; Luddites Claim Victory

That's my spin on a Times story headlined "Establishment Candidates Defeat Challengers in Sierra Club Voting." An effort led by former Colorado governor Richard Lamm to win control of the Club's 15-member board and implement an anti-immigration policy was turned back by 95,000 votes.

The good news: those who see immigrants (and the human species, excluding of course themselves) as a scourge were defeated.

The bad news: those who see the modern world (excluding of course themselves) as a hopeless wreck, with the free market to blame, won.
