( WWl & WWll....more people died in the 20th century than any other because of those two events ). Napoleon, Marxian Robespierre, Queen Bloody Mary Tudor, The Wars of the Roses, The Inquisition, 1990's Bosnia Conflict.....I could go on.

    The book is just excellent on all levels. Every sentence is telling, not a word wasted. Murray is smart without being elitist, clever without being arrogant. He is quick, sharp and not afraid, so the left see him as dangerous, and will take him down if they can. This book deserves to be a best seller.

      Read stoe, tried to be cynical but I kept reading shaking my head in agreement. Maybe I'm just easy lead . Looking forward to this one too. I like Murray he talk simple straight up sense , and I'm left wing ! But we need an non judgemental/ emotional environment where people can talk about these issues without being vilified with one label or other. Politics is in everything .

    In another interview, Douglas said that his books are not tied together in any manner.
    He might not think so but I see the connection.
    It is about the concept of reality and what is true.
    Mass immigration was allowed to happen with no democratic decisions. Public discussion was stifled by name-calling and the real risk of getting jail terms for speaking your mind in some countries.
    The same strategy is used in forcing the new religion down the throats of people. It does not matter if your argument is valid, if it differs from ours, you are a criminal.
    In both cases, the stuff that actually is happening loses its meaning while how you think/talk about it and who you identify it is all that matters.
    Good people like this and this and this.
    You do not like? You are bad!
    My feeling is that the Internet has brought in 'enforcers' or 'influencers' who have gained power far beyond their mental/moral capabilities.

    From whence a person's sexuality derives should not be stated in binary terms. It is best described by coordinates on a plane of quadrants where the _x_ axis runs along a line of nurture/nature and the _y_ axis along a heterosexual/homosexual line. Somewhere within those quadrants will lay most people's sexual orientation.

Genetic factors don't often account for more than 30% of the variation in phenotype for any trait. Animal and plant breeders are very familiar with this phenomenon!
    Read "Quantitative Genetics" by Falconer and McKay for the basic ideas. It is difficult for a geneticist to observe the politicizing and distortion of objective scientific facts! This will back up some of Douglas' points.

    At first i failed to understand how fringe activism, trans, gender and other such " niche" debates , where and are given such high profile news worthiness, then i realised that it is driven from universities and thus t.v. media via appointments to those university graduates in media, arts, politics. These people are a minute number with extreme views compared to the vast majority of people. Most people couldn't care less if people are trans. In fact most people go by the premise " do what you want unless it harms others". The mistake these activists make is moving to ridiculous stances of " more than two genders" or saying trans men should be able to compete in sports with women. These stupid ideas hold back acceptance of trans people and stoke a backlash in many cases
