Sure, I enjoy the University of Utah page in particular - talk about making lemonade when all you have are lemons 8-D

Such gross misunderstandings of human genetics are certainly common, the notion that concentrating breeding to a small group of the "right" people benefits offspring is such a wonderful example of of misdirected fertility worship superstitions combined with being really, really, really completely freaking wrong.

The Spanish Hapsburgs, the 6 fingered Amish of western Pennsylvania, the list goes on and on. The Mormons have them all beat.

I was only mildly surprised to learn of the history of treachery and murder that accompanied Mormon settlement in the western U.S. Don't mistake these folks for Quakers, there's nothing redeeming in their history, nor anything peace like. The best description that I came up with long ago is that Mormonism was rather like the 19th century version of Scientology, a comparison I have since seen many others use :-)

Of course, now, I fully expect to have offended all the SI Scientologists. As it turns out, I have been an always skeptical student and historian of what I regard as the most outrageous confidence scheme of the second half of the 20th century. The way Scientology's founder L. Ron Hubbard more or less continuously laughed in the faces of the believers he drew while emptying their pockets was just too much to believe, most especially given that the con is still running.
