The Warrior Gene

Boys who have a so-called "warrior gene" are more likely to join gangs and also more likely to be among the most violent members and to use weapons, a new study finds. [More]
Ah!

Something else to abort!

Unless, of course, you're a licensed and registered Sardaukar breeder...

How many remember "Soldier"?

Except for those who work in government. They're beyond reproach.

Actually, that's a broad stroke. The ones who make the rules are beyond reproach. If their wisdom is not divine in nature, then they would be forced to argue it based on simple logic and a comparison of philosophies, at the very least.

a warrior is a warrior, even if he works the fry-o-lator at mcdonalds.

he does not need a tattoo on his face, a badge on his chest, or a flag on his shoulder. even when he does have any of these things, he will do what is right, irrespective of the consequences.

hmmm... does this mean when one day we get to genetically engineer our children I can get mine to have the warrior gene as well as the ruggedly handsome gene, star athelete gene, and the genius gene?

There! You see? Get all these "warrior gene" fellows, vest them in a super-costume and pin on a magic shield, and they'll be impervious to wrong-doing! We NEED more COPS "on the streets", don't we?

Sorry Lucky, but no, I already got them all. Perfection is a heavy cross to bear, trust me on this. You and others may never know, but it is a very heavy cross.

Only my extreme modesty keeps me from being arrogant.
