James Watson is suspended from eternal life(s)

category international | history and heritage | other press author Saturday October 20, 2007 01:22author by obit Report this post to the editors

Neither you nor I are alphabet soup. We are not numbers. Genetics is not new nor really that literal. One of the two men who presented a molecular modeling of DNA/NDA & got a Nobel prize for it back in 1962 has been suspended from his place of work. It is fitting that since he was one of the "beginners" of "genetics", Dr James Watson had better explain to you the utility of his discovery. He has not passed that test in his last 45 years. His latest assertions that intelligence may be compared between "whomever he thinks he speaks for when he says" := "us" and whatever he means by "black" are being pruned out of what we considered civilised ¡ normal now even though Watson in both his science and comments remains so loyal to 45 years ago. And all his public pilloring is happening just before you get to ask him how smart he thinks orientals are.



Not that anyone ever really paid ataltention to what Watson thought. If you-ve missed the little clue of human enhancement and eugenics you-re not yet ready for the next level of intrigue.
