This got me to wondering where KJAs survival fits in with Mr. Darwins theory, it surley isn't survival of the fittest must be survival of the fecund. pfff the trailer trash are taking over.

We've been keeping the non-fit alive more and more for decades. I think it's weakening our gene pool.

You're not contributing to the gene pool so your opinion doesn't count!

Actually, by not contributing I'm not passing along genes for near-sightedness, baldness, diabetes (no sign yet, but it runs in my mother's family), heart disease, short legs, and excessively hairy nipples.

I could of course make the rounds of the sperm banks, just to fuck with y'all. :twisted:

I was waiting around the whole movie for the underground geniuses running the whole thing, like in the story. Never came. The ending therefore saddened me.

KJA hasn't reproduced, as far as we know, so I think natural selection is right on track. :)

To be serious for a moment, we can't really tell what's happening to our species in terms of "the weak surviving" or whatever. "fittest" only means "what's required to survive and reproduce in a given environment". Being strong, fast or healthy aren't intrinsically better for survival if there's no need for them. Who knows what the future requires of us?

I quote Mr. Reeves in Parenthood:

lt depends on the man.
l had a man around.
He used to wake me up in the morning by flicking lit cigarettes at my head.
''Hey, asshole, get up and make me breakfast.''
You know, Miss Buckman, you need a license to buy a dog or drive a car.
Hell, you need a license to catch a fish.
But they´ll let any butt-reamin´ asshole be your father.
