Invoking Godwin's law never helps.
Though a corollary to that law says that I've won the debate because of your accusation.
Val - Thanks so much for standing up and crying foul of folks twisting and inflaming. I'm not sure there is room on this Forum for these sorts of discussions, but I am sure that there isn't room for imflaming people's comments.
I enjoyed looking up Godwin's Law. But I do have to say that as much as I love, and owe to IQ tests, their history is wrapped up in American Eugenics Movement and very ugly. I don't believe in throwing out the baby with the bathwater.
I like this book
War Against the Weak: Eugenics and America's Campaign to Create a Master Race. New York: Basic Books, 2003.
for more details, although I can't say I got more than half way through it. Life is complicated.
Maybe we should start "Greatest Contentious Topics Thread" and all the folks who want to whine and flame can post there?
Love and More Love,
Grinity
