I'd like to propose a moratorium on political posts, as they are
off-topic.  I see general agreement on the unsatisfactory state of
affairs here in the US, but for now there's little anybody can do about it.

Ron's been standing clear of electoral politics.  In fact, if he's the
most prolific poster, good for him.

I’m glad he’s keeping us posted on the dairy flu.

  Will one of you please pay attention, if only for the novelty of the
experience?

Migrants made this country as great as it is.  Even the native Americans
came from Asia.  Trump's stupidity has been used against the Irish,
Asians, Eastern Europeans, Italians, and Jews.  It seems to be nuts that
it should surface again in this day and age.

That was totally relevant to TO.  Those have been common discussion topics because of the IDiotic type creationist stupidity, and the ID Perps have claimed that Trump supports the ID scam.  It is the type of stupidity that the creationists usually blame on the evolution side when racists are likely not the least bit motivated by the fact of evolution.   Just look back on how the ID perps have consistently tried to link evolution to the Nazis, and the American Nazis support Trump.  It is just another example of how bankrupt and evil that argument against evolution is.  It isn't just irrelevant, but the opposite is likely true.  Who carried out the Holocaust?  There is supposed to be an ID scam unit in Germany, and how many such Biblical creationists were involved in the excesses of the Nazis?  Hitler did not do everything himself.
When I looked into the Methodist involvement in the Eugenics movement I found out that it was the YEC faction of Methodists that got the church involved in that fiasco.  They definitely did not believe in biological evolution but their likely conservative racist tendencies got them to believe that they could breed better Americans.  The article that I found was careful to not claim any racist reasons for the young earth creationist wanting to support eugenics, but that is pretty hard to believe.  What type of genetic improvement of the human race did they think they were going to accomplish?
