Hi Maurice,

< I don't see why any subject at all should be considered off-limits to anyone, including respectable scientists and academicians. >

In an ideal world, this would be true. We don't live in an ideal world. Political correctness is the game played in the academic circles of higher learning in our nation.

< The conclusions might not fit prejudices.>
