Looks like you are saying that General Jack D. Ripper (from 'Dr.
Strangelove') was right -- it's all about the purity of our "precious
bodily fluids".


No, not at all. But that was an hilarious movie! I like the scene where
someone is firing on General Ripper's office with a machine gun and,
when the shooting subsides, Ripper leans out the window and shouts "Nice
shootin', soldier!" There are many equally classic lines in that film.

Genetic quality means something quite different. It's the difference
between those who can and do make cathedrals and Saturn V rockets and
microprocessors and _Tales of Mystery and Imagination_ -- and those who
could never do any more than trash and burn them, no matter how many
times they repeat the 8th grade.

With sufficient numbers of the former, we can rebuild anything, probably
better than before.

With sufficient numbers of latter, particularly if they can outvote us,
we are doomed.


With all good wishes,

Dave, Dave, Dave...when will you ever learn NOT to keep changing thread
titles?

It's NOT cute.

It's NOT clever.

It IS bad netiquette.

It IS lazy.

It IS *very* RUDE.

Why not leave the tile the same and just type your response in the body
of the post?

On the other hand, if you wish to have people think of you as being rude
(i.e., shooting yourself in the foot), that's your choice.

Not trying to start a flame war, just my 2 cents...

Just a side effect of over medication with dope ...
