Did you see that odd link to the 4 things destroying men? which became three on the comments pages? Looks as though it's selling some junk career boosting snake oil.

Interesting article, and very interesting comments.

And one of the things it led me to was a reassessment of William Jennings Bryan of the Scopes trial. He had reasoned that social Darwinianism, which included eugenics, and was not what Darwin had taught, was dangerous to American society, because it would lead people away from a politics which supported the poor against the rich - he was, in fact, and successfully so in politics, a socialist. And he was not, in fact, a YEC, but a day age creationist who was prepared to accept evolution, except for the origin of man. An interesting and intelligent man. Look him up on wikipedia.
