Evolutionists are trying to have it both ways.

Their evolutionary theory tells them that it''s very possible and probable that the races have evolved differently and to different levels of intelligence, but Political Correctness forbids them from saying it outloud, so they believe one thing and say another.

Yogi Berra, praising the amenities at a certain hotel:

"The towels there were so thick I could hardly close my suitcase."

That would violate the child labor laws, wouldn"t it ?

I was punning on Miners ("boring people" - those who bore holes in the earth) and the familiar "Keep Out Of Reach Of Minors" seen on pharmeceutical warnings.

So "Avoid Boring People" became "Keep Out Of Reach Of Miners."

Is this whole explanation starting to get boring ?

Gallileo caved in to the popes of catholicism. Now Watson caves in to the popes of political correctness. I suppose this means the blacks have to blame themselves for accepting the false theories to mis social engineer their peoples for five decades. Since we''re all equal, we will have to close down welfare and other special programs to help low IQ folk, since the bell curve centers are irrelevant. Equality is being used to justify prejudice.

Yogi''s daughter, in her biography of her Dad, cites several. For example:

The Yankees were in spring training in Florida and Yogi exited a hotel elevator wearing a Hawaiian shirt, white pants, white patent leather shoes and belt and a Panama hat.

A lady rushed across the lobby and said "Yogi, you look cool".

To which he responded, "You don''t look so hot yourself".

If people don"t want to come out to the ballpark, nobody"s going to stop them."

(It could also mean, "Keep out of reach of Miners.")

I can''''t understand how in this world a guy who is supposed to be an intelligent scientist, could have made those expressions.

He wouldn''t be the first person who, although extremely gifted in one area, possesses no common sense.

Once again, another brilliant and honest man forced to cave under the weight of all the PC bullsh*t thrown at him from naive liberal whites and militant blacks. It is a sad day when we demand that science make us feel good, rather than just tell us the facts.
We are going NOWHERE as a country so long as political correctness has this insidious stranglehold on us.
