And you're right, that transformation was due to the influence of "certain power blocs," who have successfully managed to inject the population with a certain brand of politically correct egalitarianism which has made looking at genetics taboo (while ignoring that nonsense themselves).

Obama subscribes to that philosophy too, though he's wily enough to -- somewhat -- hide his true colors.

I looked into Kate Millett. Due to one of your commenters, I read an article by Kate's sister, Mallory. The online article that I read spelled it out about Kate - the woman was a Communist who was bent on destroying the USA, turning it into another failed socialist country. Her feminist theories were designed to bring about her Communist agenda within our country.<br /><br />- Susan<br /> Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5794535954827182754.post-27268086276897727332016-05-14T01:48:07.083-04:002016-05-14T01:48:07.083-04:00Thank you Steven.
