In fact I am going to write an Amazon Short just to use Mrs. Kirst's
original quote in it now. She shouldn't have tried to get political
correct on me, because all it has done is propell her embarrassing
quote into the mainstream. I hope she thanks you for it, Doug.

That would be dishonest.

It is also dishonest to call someone conservative who points out that
there is more recent research that overturns older research. The
conservative is the one who clings to the past and ignores new research.

(And if you were arguing for pygmies you wouldn't call me conservative).

Seriously, research moves on or else we'd still accept Piltdown man as
genuine.
