Hi Ron H!
you asked:
<<Spudboy,
I noticed that about three years ago. I have been waiting for someone
else to notice.
I have always listened to the charges that Herrnstein & Murray were
racists and wondered why they put their ethnic group third if that were so.

I wondered, instead if Hernstein and Murray were Jews? Seriously. I suspected
they were merely smug academics who took a baseline survey and came up with a
rush to judgement. They Asians they may have been 'spot-on' about. Regarding
Jews, I wondered if Jews are so smart, how come I am not a physicist or an
engineer? Recessive genes, victim of fetal alcohol syndrome, my mother ate
too much lunchmeat, what?
I do not find the Bell Curve useful in identifying or solving problems, Ron,
because the author's work, doesn't cure disease, doesn't produce an
alternative to gasoline, doesn't build bridges, etc. It seems altogether
pendantic.
