All this is fair enough, and I'm sorry if I seemed to be implying that
*your* comments were racist. But this thread is about THE BELL CURVE. It's
a long time since I read in that tome, but perhaps you can refresh my
memory on what precise public policy recommendations H & M drew from the
existence of human sub groups who are carriers of the mtDNA mutation 13513A
or the mutations that produce juvenile myoclonic epilepsy, or anything
remotely along those lines?

I didn't notice any.
