" He carried out the report for men's satellite TV channel Bravo... "

One of the gay channels?

In other news, the Pope is Catholic...

Humanity may split into two sub-species in 100,000 years' time ... an expert has said.

How does a person get to be an expert on things that might happen in 100,000 years? Is there a catalog where you can order an "Expert In Stuff That Hasn't Happened" certificate?

I think Helen Thomas (please do not post pictures) is proof that his concept is correct but the timing is wrong. Also note Donna Shalala and Maddy Albright!

The government will have fostered and maintained this underclass for the purpose of voting.

Evolutionary theorist Oliver Curry of the London School of Economics expects a genetic upper class and a dim-witted underclass to emerge.

I live not too far from Harvard Square,Hyannisport and Martha's Vineyard and can attest to the fact that this bifurcation is at a very advanced stage right now.

Sorry to contradict an 'expert', but his theory has already happened.

We're called conservatives and liberals.

Whaddaya mean, "emerge"? It's here today. The only thing that's backwards is that rather than an H.G. Wells style Eloi/Morlock scenario we have the upper class working full time to pay taxes to support and increase the population of the underclass. ;)

I don't think mankind as we know it will be here then. I think man will eventually reproduce himself into a mechanical and electronic entity. Not a robot but an inorganic human that can live indefinitly and survive in environments hostile to earth-bound life.

A Matrix-like scenario. I don't think it's farfetched at all. Lots of metaphor there, too. ;o)

The descendants of the genetic upper class, who will be known as "Red-Staters," would be tall, slim, healthy, attractive, intelligent, and creative and a far cry from the "underclass" humans, who will be known as "Blue-Staters," and who would have evolved into dim-witted, ugly, squat goblin-like creatures.

Interesting.

How is this different from Hitler and his belief in eugenics?
