    Matt,

    A Nazi can say what he likes, but his argument for eugenics or genocide
    would not stand up against the MoQ framework is what Ron is saying, and I
    would agree ....

    Just one small example ... cutting off a "master race" from an alternative
    source of genes is degenerate biological evolution for a start.
    Another ... breeding contempt of one ethnic group for another is degenerate
    social engineering,
    etc.

    Ian
