"Democrats (Morons) and the rest of us (Their overlords)"

Actually, you have that backwards. For example, we're almost exactly at the point where a majority of citizens pay no Federal income tax. Already, the income tax burden is shouldered almost entirely by a pathetically small minority of productive citizens. On average, a U.S. citizen works "for the government" until well into May each year, but that masks the situation. Very close to a majority of folks now work not a day "for the government" in terms of their income tax. Those who actually pay the bills essentially labor long into the summer. Who are the morons, then?

Chins would recede, as a result of having to chew less on processed food.

In oreder for this to be true there would have to be selective pressure in favor of this trait or in opposition to the larger chin. No one that I am aware of has ever died as a result of a weak (or strong) chin.

People would become choosier about their sexual partners, causing humanity to divide into sub-species, he added.

As long as we have beer, and bars have a last call, there is no chance of any of this happening.

On the other hand, Oliver Curry seems at least an example of a dim-witted creature. Or is it dem-witted?

All jokes aside, let the record show that this is a very silly article by a very silly man. Last time I checked psycho-history still on existed in the realm of Asimov's Foundation trilogy.
