Redheads Not Going Extinct After All

Redheads Not Going Extinct After All



Praise be to God and/or Darwin:

The story of redhead extinction has gone around the Internet before, most recently in 2005, with news articles again citing the Oxford Hair Foundation as a source. These articles work on the mistaken assumption that recessive genes -- like the one for red hair -- can "die out." Recessive genes can become rare but don't disappear completely unless everyone carrying that gene dies or fails to reproduce. So while red hair may remain rare, enough people carry the gene that, barring global catastrophe, redheads should continue to appear for some time.

Token Political Content:

Ron Paul backer lists his shortcomings. Take care, all you folks who think he's "cool":

He Doesn’t Believe in the Separation of Church and State

He’s Not For Federally Supported Public Education

Yeah, That Means No Federal College Loans

He’s Not For National Health Care

He Would Abolish Federal Consumer Protection Groups Like The FDA

No More Federal Environmental Protection. If GiantFooCorp Does Something Wrong, Sue Them

He’s Against Abortion and Would Like to See Roe vs. Wade Overturned

He Doesn’t Believe The Evidence for Man-Made Global Warming Is Convincing
"The bottom line is that he’s way off-base just like the other candidates, but on different issues. He simply takes things too far. We’re endorsing him because we’re infatuated with his views on foreign policy and personal freedom."

Also, and I missed this covering Madeleine Albright, a forum on 21 bars.
