I hate to break this to you, but I'm going to: you can't be anything you want. You're limited by your genes and genes have been used to define a grouping called "race". From there we can move to other genetic groupings: Kentucky Phried Chicken Our Favorite Greasy Snack Hey, speaking of genes and racism, you'll love this: Dr. Watson -- who co-discovered the structure of DNA and thereby helped launch the genetics revolution -- said yesterday that he would no longer serve as the chancellor of the prestigious Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, an institution he has been associated with for more than four decades. The 79-year-old scientist said he would "retire" with immediate effect following an outcry over controversial remarks he recently made in the United Kingdom media about the intelligence levels of blacks. It is an unexpected and ignominious end to one of the most illustrious careers in modern science. Dr. Watson, who shared the Nobel Prize in 1962 with Mr. Crick and Maurice Wilkins for their DNA discovery, recently told Britain's Sunday Times that he was "inherently gloomy about the prospect of Africa" because "all our social policies are based on the fact that their intelligence is the same as ours -- whereas all the testing says not really." http://online.wsj.com/article/SB119331451684871240.html ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Get involved in the latest ColdFusion discussions, product development sharing, and articles on the Adobe Labs wiki. http://labs/adobe.com/wiki/index.php/ColdFusion_8 Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:245307 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
