Interesting. Certainly can't agree with his conclusion/solution. Unless I missed the satire, or irony, forcing people together generally not a good idea. Encouraging it, sure, but "jam[ming] the tribes together" not so good.

Stone, for God's sake, I don't need another book!!!
Now, I gotta go find that one. Great article, and seems to cast (no pun) the current trends accurately... Jim

Looks good, Stone, and certainly makes a lot of sense. Will have to check his book out.

On order. Charles Murray is smart and thoughtful and has the courage to base his analyses on observable data.

Another article about this book from last weekend's Globe and Mail (I guess all the opinion writers got the book at the same time) here in Canada:
http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/opin......2318042/ The comments at the bottom may be more interesting than the article itself. I don't know, but anyway there are lots of them to look at.
