Kimmers,

Re: Your sample letter.

Do not be concerned. The human genome will be mapped. In the name of efficiency we will engineer all undesirable traits out of man. It's like raising race horses, just select for the desired traits, calculate societal needs and produce the needed skills.

As political orientation, religion and ethics are counterproductive and inherently inefficient, the capacity for same will likewise be eliminated. We will become drones. We will be happy, because that, too, will be engineered in.

We will ignore the evidence that indicates that, in fact, it isn't all nature, that nurture plays a roll or that a viable ecology tends to diversity, not similarity.

We will mean no harm. We will find that, son of a gun, the road to hell really is paved with good intentions. And we will pass. And none will mourn because it was all done so efficiently.

Regards

John
