1. They have to blame science
because if they blamed the real problem, fanaticism, it'd be a self-indictment.

6. Here's another one:
"War Against the Weak: America's Campaign to Create a Master Race," by Edwin Black. The US eugenics movement was _started_ by people like them.

4. No it isn't really...
Edited on Tue Aug-30-05 09:16 AM by WCGreen
All sorts of fanatics embraced Darwinism in it's simplistic form of survival of the fittest....

A lot of the Republican social barons of the gilded age, and probably many today, still feel they are better than the poor or unfortuate simply becuase they have money...

Socail Darwinism was a complete and utter mis representation of the Darwin theory of eveolution.....

But ten again, look at all the good that has been done in the name of our lord Jesus Christ.... Genocide in third world countries, the subjegation of "inferior godless" races, the crusades, the inquisition....

Power crazed people will grasp at anything to justify the horrible acts they commit....

5. We've got a member here
who occasionally posts that baloney. Needless to say, the reception is never pretty, S/he winds up absent for a while, I suppose to recover from the shellacking.

7. It's just another version of...
"When I hear the word culture, I reach for my Browning."
--Attributed to Hermann Goering

Yet another freep becomes what he pretends to decry.
