I argued with one of the Juliebots, now probably at WA, making these exact same arguments. But he was quite serious. It was all chillingly reminiscent of the eugenicists and the Nazis.
I remember a debate or two on FR along those lines. That is what is scary about this Scrappleface column - for some Rudybots, this ain’t satire. They buy into the Sangeristic eugenics.
