thankyou royston, when you were on about it before, i didn't know what it meant! i assumed (wrongly)that it was something to do with all the statistics that i didn't understand fully in the first place.

when i think about all the poor kids lives being turned upside down, being prodded and probed and tested, then to watch half their class being led away never to be seen again, i could cry.

i am just about to look into this colman person, and the modern version of this, eugenics stuff.
but please, let us not get bogged down by one person.
ths thread is so much bigger than that.

everyone is entiltled to their point of view and as far as i can see, everyone making a contribution to this thread deserves to be heard and thought about.

take care all
