They have views outside of the mainstream to say the least. Indeed... I recall a story from a friend of mine who had attended a speech given by JR Simplot, one of the founders of Micron and noted frozen/dehydrated potato king. Seems old JR (and he's pretty old then and now..:), had this great scheme for cloning human beings with reduced intelligence and no sense of individuality, using them as mass sources of cheap labor that would permit the rest of us "gifted" folks to live in leisure or without want. A noble goal of making "human" life easier, but at the great expense of warping nature, and our societal value systems in the process. That's why it's incumbent upon us to keep these guys in check and under scrutiny. Regards, Ron
