Peter, I warn Libertarians in particular because they are that minority
able to think outside of the Liberal or Conservative mind frame and-
theoretically at least- value individual rights.

History repeatedly shows us what the delusional majorities do to the
perceived minorities, most especially in chaotic times of economic
crisis when the price of demagogic policy must be paid. We can expect
the corporate media hacks to seek ways of discrediting those who did
understand the problem before them, and pedophilia is the most facile
tool I've seen for this yet.

To some extent the power elites before the Romans relied on monoculture;
however, the productive efficiency and organizational skill of the
Romans really ramped up the effect. Diamond writes of the fall of the
Maya, who used maize in a similarly effective way. He, however, seems
unaware of the lower quality of protein which produced a power elite
that was even more nuts. The Romans, after all, were not into dragging
POWs up on top of pyramids to cut their hearts out.

Conversely, when European farmers found the fertile soils of the north
produced hard winter wheat with 26% protein, (compared to 8% for corn)
their kids grew up smarter than ever, and we see the innovation that
arose out of the Universities from Minnesota to New York.

The problem with nourishment now is that traces of the agribusiness
chemicals, which earlier innovative generations didnt have, mimic some
of the trace minerals and micronutrients plants absorb from what we now
call "organic" soils. And as a result, some of the 150 neurotransmitters
try to use these molecules when laying down new neural pathways during
learning. Some kids are lucky, and grow up rational anyway. But some
gene pools are at greater risk and/or have different reactions, eg,
autism with Whites, ADD with Blacks.

Then too, back during the stone age, life went on pretty much as before
with stiff competition among the warriors for hunting grounds. As Lebanc
says in "Constant Battles". But in Europe, the real enemy was old Man
Winter. The Mammoth bone Longhouses on the Don for instance, were 100
miles apart, and the survivors of those long winters had 100 times as
much hunting territory per hunter.

They didnt need aggressive warriors, whose impulsiveness risked injury
to the women and kids in the close quarters of a Longhouse. What they
evolved was a race of men who could sit back and practice crafts, chill
out, and wait for spring without getting up tight about who the women
were having sex with. The close air of the Longhouse was just overdosed
on pheremones.

This paid off big time after the ice age when agriculture came in. Both
LeBlanc in "Constant Battles" and Pinker in "The Blank Slate" report
that the rate of trauma seen on the skeletons of yeoman farmer graves
was just 5% of what has been recorded among tropical hunters. Diamond
reports that when the Whiteman arrived, 25% of the New Guinea Highlander
men died in battle. The rate during WWII, among Whitemen on both sides
was 2%-3%. It was not the viciousness or aggression of Whitemen in war
and the colonies that caused so much death, but their machinery.

Ever butchered a hog? Lotsa White guys aint got the stomach for it; but
put a sniper rifle in their hands, where they dont have to look the
victim in the eye or get blood on their pants, and they are deadly.

If we really cared about the oppressed races, we'd move them out of the
urban ghettos and into small rural villages that are more on the scale
of their own ancestral traditions. There's lotsa marginal land along
rivers and creeks where the guys could go out to hunt and fish, and
thereby fulfill their instincts without hunting each other.

Course, that would mean that a lotta welfare bureaucrats would be out of
a job, and well... we cant have that.
