I just realized that your name referred to the author. I thought it was referring to some sort of nautical vessel.

I thought this article was pretty good. http://www.prospect.org/web/page.ww?sectio...articleId=11378 Warning: Liberal views

The elephant in the room for this issue seems to be whether or not people who want to crack down on illegal immigration want to streamline the legal immigration process or raise the freakin quotas. This seems to never be brought up.

Jingus is saying that white folk elect shit politicians too. That the system ensures that groups other than minorities are able to elect "their preferred candidate" as well.

Wanted to address some other things. Yeah, but humans aren't those animals. Human males are way more violent than human females. So are the males of all of our closest cousins (chimpanzees batter their females, gorillas commit infanticide, the majority of mating among orangutangs is rape) except bonobos (pygmy chimps). That's not true. If the dominant society that emerged and developed complex institutions and technologies (like Western Europe did in actuality) had been more peaceful, then they wouldn't have necessarily been susceptible to other more violent societies because of their societal and technological superiority. Of course, I suppose you could argue that Western Europe may not have become the hegemon without its violent tendencies. These are not easy questions to answer.

Agh this is why I didn't wanna get into this crap. Elizabethan England or Tsarist Russia or even 80s Britain can hardly be considered matriarchal or female-dominated societies even though they had a female head of state. I think there's a lot to be said for liberal democracy, too. For instance, I would suggest that if a society like a modern Western Europe or Scandinavia or the United States encountered a less technologically advanced indigenous people that the response would not be so brutal.

And, just out of curiosity, I looked up some stuff about the NAS scientist (Lindzen) that was pro-Crichton from the 1st article I linked to from the Seattle Times: http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Richard_Lindzen

Gathering together a bunch of research does not necessarily produce a valid argument. For instance, I could cite a buch of racist Middle Eastern & Nazi German science to "prove" that Jews are evil, but I would still be wrong. Here's a report that quotes scientists who claim that Crichton has distorted their research: http://www.boston.com/news/globe/ideas/art...tons_footnotes/

Humans are violent and territorial by nature. This is kinda why I didn't wanna get into it, because it gets to the core of human nature and I'm a shitty philosopher. I don't think it's set in stone that humans are violent and territorial. Males pretty much are. I think if humanity shifts toward a more female-dominated society (based on the current education system, it seems like this could eventually happen [way down the road] in the US) then there could be hope for a less violent human culture. My thinking has been influenced on this subject by this book. Edit: Here's a link that explains a bit more: http://www.bbc.co.uk/science/horizon/2004/demonicapeqa.shtml
