    A report from the Pew Research Center finds a wide partisan gap between highly educated and non-highly-educated Americans. Not only that, but the share of college grads and post-graduates who are "consistently liberal" (based on their answers to a series of policy questions) has grown sharply in the last 20 years."

    I'd think as an American you'd root for that portion of the population to grow.

    Can you address the point with an opinion as to why the more education people get the more intelligent they tend to be and the more liberal .
    Do you suppose that intelligence, education and the attraction to liberal ideas and solutions are a mere association? Maybe, but I'd like confounding uncontrolled variables
    like better food health care and family structure to explain our greater aptitude, length of bone and proud bearing as well as increased earnings and life expectancy.

    "Humanity may split into two sub-species in 100,000 years' time as predicted by HG Wells, an expert has said.
    Evolutionary theorist Oliver Curry of the London School of Economics expects a genetic upper class and a dim-witted underclass to emerge.

    The human race would peak in the year 3000, he said - before a decline due to dependence on technology.

    People would become choosier about their sexual partners, causing humanity to divide into sub-species, he added.
    The descendants of the genetic upper class would be tall, slim, healthy, attractive, intelligent, and creative and a far cry from the "underclass" humans who would have evolved into dim-witted, ugly, squat goblin-like creatures.

    Race 'ironed out'

    But in the nearer future, humans will evolve in 1,000 years into giants between 6ft and 7ft tall, he predicts, while life-spans will have extended to 120 years, Dr Curry claims.

    Physical appearance, driven by indicators of health, youth and fertility, will improve, he says, while men will exhibit symmetrical facial features, look athletic, and have squarer jaws, deeper voices and bigger penises.

    Women, on the other hand, will develop lighter, smooth, hairless skin, large clear eyes, pert breasts, glossy hair, and even features, he adds. Racial differences will be ironed out by interbreeding, producing a uniform race of coffee-coloured people."

    A sad commentary on we, as a people, and our viewpoint of our freedom can be summed up like this. We have liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans, yet those very people look at Constitutionalists as radical and extreme.................so those liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans must believe that the constitution is radical and extreme.

    Republicans prove they are true idiots by loving scientific proof that liberals are genetically superior. Thanks for reinforcing the thesis point!

    I was a PSYCH major. There is NO objective data supporting your ABSURD (BS) premise.

    Actual OBJECTIVE evidence, the more advanced degreed holders skew DEMOCRAT. Do with that fact as you will.

    Many have told him to F off. But most of us don't come to this board to police people like CFM. I come to discuss politics, not follow CFM's every post and speak out against it. You don't speak out against TTQ64 or Desh when they say racist things so why expect others to do likewise?

    In certain well educated circles socialism is a more enlightened system and form of being. Hence the appeal to liberals.

    This definitely seems true in my husband's family. Of the six kids and two parents, he has the highest level of education, and according to his mom was the "smartest" of all the kids. They're all conservative; he is apolitical-leaning-left. He's also the only one to move to a large city after finishing university; the rest still live in rural regions.
