 ^^^^^^  !!!!

The term "Alpha"(tm), as used on this newsgroup, could be easily misconstrued by
anyone not following it's development.
Now if I recall the origin of the term "Alpha"(tm), as used on this newsgroup, 
it's original reference was from Huxley's 'Brave New World', where the Alphas
were gentically superior; physically AND mentally, to the betas and gammas.
					 ^^^^^^^^
			(this is where the confusion comes in)

People here on alt.angst claimed identity as betas, gammas and (adding a new
category) omegas (After all, an Alpha wouldn't be filled with the self doubts
and insecurities that mark one as an angster).
Soon "Alpha" became synonmous with Ken, Barbie, Bowhead, etc....basically an 
attactive airhead (with a sex life that angsters jealously despise them for)

See what I mean, he's so jealous he wants to prevent others' fun

Just a *touch* of misogyny here, I guess not getting any makes you mean...

Well, maybe lack thereof is the fault of all of *your* problems.

So you the racial attributes humanity should strive for are:
	Intelligence in men
	Boobies and blondeness in women

And if you can't get any women to like you for who you are, you'd make it 
*mandatory* for them to boink you...

>Basically, I am reasonably intelligent...

*Laugh* That's debatable.  Let's see...in this post alone you've:
a.	advocated eugenics
b.	displayed blatant misogyny
c.	supported the gross caricatures of sex roles
d.	advocated sexual slavery
e.	displayed an overblown sense of self importance (Einstein, really)

>girls won't go out with me and I am 
>lonely and hacked off!  :)

I wonder why? (clue for the clueless: see b-e above)


The scariest thing about these attitudes is that I recognize them from 
from my own past (*far* past - let me reassure you).  At some point
in time, most of us angsters were socially inept, fat, smelly, unattractive,
or somehow excluded from Alphadom.  
It's far easier to be a herd animal...a sheep.
I'd still be one if I wasn't for my rejection at age eleven.
Most of us didn't arrive here by choice, we were rejected.

In our loneliness, we turned from the pursuit of social goals to mental goals...
actually started to think as individuals, instead of pursuing popularity and
belonging to the group.  We became critical thinkers, not followers, our
separation from the herd became complete.   

This young man recognizes his rejection.
But, he still covets belonging (as evidenced in his traditional social views)
Point out the errors of his ways, but don't be too harsh with him...
he's only starting to learn to think for himself.
