Seems to me they eliminated much humanity by bc and abortion but there were still plenty of dregs left. A never ending supply in fact.
Suppose those eugenicists were right. Suppose the welfare class is destroying civilization. One day they’ll all starve but civilization will be dead too.

The descendants of the genetic upper class would be tall, slim, healthy, attractive, intelligent, and creative

Yeah, but I think the whole Tijeras gestalt would override all that.

Go to any third world country and they won’t consider slenderness an asset. It really is about time for me to go back to Jamaica.

Wells was a Fabian socialist and a True Believer, so it was a bit of a surprise to me to find the working-class Morlocks to be bestial and cannibalistic and the Eloi beautiful, ethereal, and delicious. What the heck, it's his story.
Neal Stephenson posited tongue in cheek that it was actually the Morlocks who were worth anything at all. He likened them to today's geeks. Let's see, loveless, unwashed, run everything but not a chance in hell of a date with the Beautiful People...maybe ol' Neal had a point...

We’ll just have to wait until 2010 to see if it continues. Dems are professional at stealing close elections...Unions and Acorn....but enought are getting fed up and waking up...hope 2010 changes things....Much of the voters are entirely ignorant and that doesn’t help........

This is an old myth revisited.....Prometheus and his brother Epimetheus. Prometheus was punished by the gods for making life better for mankind and Epimetheus was rewarded with a gift from Pandora so we could all live happily ever after.

And let’s not forget Amateuretheus, who was good at nothing, and wound operating an olive-oil massage place down the hill from the Parthenon.

I'm an amateur alright. But this has been a resounding theme throughout history. Whether the myths from Hesiod or the novels of Wells and Huxley (even Lawrence Sanders of late) and somehow we have the same prognositic for doomsday scenarios which corrupt investigations and science.
They are interesting and entertaining though....if you aren't the one relegated to the lower caste.
As history goes, bet on the Neanderthals.....the educated do!

no, the “welfare class” of yesterday will evolve into the middle class, as did the Irish, the Italians and the Jews.
Yes, there is a congenital “low IQ”, but not as much as people think.
A lot of the “low IQ’s” in welfare is due to malnutrition or fetal alcohol syndrome or lead in the water supply. Get them reborn in Christ and the kids will have a chance.
It’s interesting to read the writings of Mgt Sanger and her friends in the Eugenics community.
The “Low IQ” types were Irish, Italian, Polish and Jewish...
