Well, maybe I am some kind of wingnut David; but if so, at least 
I am left hand thread, maybe double lead.  One lead is that the 
liberals refuted the conservative assertion that blacks were not 
the intellectual equal of the white man, and that therefore, they 
were not citizens. The refutation was to justify the rights of the 
blacks; *no such justification is necessary!@!*.  That was my 
problem with the liberal party line.

I would say not an agenda, but the result of natural selection, as 
with the Jews.

Ah, that is the problem; that we see some contributions, and many 
of the ones we can *see* are Aryan/Ashkenazic. As to the artistic 
and athletic contributions of minorities, we see that judging the 
*economic* value is difficult, and as you suggest, many assets of 
their origin goes unseen.  But of what we *can* see, to say that 
it is without genetic endowment seems to try to prove a negative.

    BTW: what is this doo dad?    << 
Anyhow, I am reminded of the archetypal that Askenazic/Aryan, Mr 
Einstein, who could think long and hard, but his letters to the 
ladies of his heart are just as sappy as anyone else's. So, being 
smart is not quite good enough; one must be lucky enough to find 
the right set of data to work with. (GIGO). 
 
But like the *theory* of relativity, I see a cosmology based on a 
translation of the fundamental Aryan view that Chaos split into a 
trinity- randomness, God, and the universe; only Chaos remained as 
it was in the beginning. God and the universe evolved togather. As 
I contemplate this idea, I see, that as you say, 'it WORKS!'.  It 
takes God off the hook of responsibility for all the bad shit that 
happens, but lets him remain benevolent. 
 
As for me, I got to be 58 a lots faster than I thought I would; I 
ain't nearly as smart as I look, and don't score all that well on 
IQ tests.  Maybe I am dyslexic; I am always looking at other sides 
most folks prudently ignore.
