It is a mockery of the autobiography.  For instance the scene where someone
asks X "Have you ever known any white man who treated you well?"  In the
movie, he recalls several different characters, then says "No."  But in the
book, he _does_ recall a white man who always treated him well, and tells
the guy who questioned him that.

I stand appropriately corrected.  The higher number only makes the problem
more acute.  The point still remains that irresponsible procreation is,
well, irresponsible.  Ultimately, it could be as destructive as a global

I spoke with Brother Jed this morning by phone.  Took a long time to reach
him, since most of the numbers I have had been disconnected.  It turns out
that the Campus Ministry has moved from Washington, DC to Newark, OH:

		The Campus Ministry
		(Brother George E. "Jed" Smock)
		922 W. Village Dr.
		Newark, OH 43055
		(614) 344-9103

My call was to ask him whether he would be at Cal Poly this January (I knew
he usually hits California around Jan/Feb).  He said his itinerary isn't set
completely yet, but that he'll be in Southern California from January 9-14
(Actually, he said "ninth through the fourth" a couple of times, but he
sounded like he was sleepy or distracted -- my guess is that he meant 9th-14th
but maybe 4th-9th or something.  I'm not sure), and then will be returning
in March.  He wasn't sure on which swing through the golden state he would
be able to hit Cal Poly, if either.

He also mentioned his new book ("more theological than `Who Shall Rise Up'")
based on Romans 6:7-8, and said that "Who Shall Rise Up" was out of print
but that he was thinking of doing a revised edition (he asked if he could
include my essay on his and the crowd's antics at Poly -- I enthusiastically
agreed to it).

Then he inquired gently into the state of my salvation, and we discussed the
budget crunch in California and how it is affecting the CSU system.  A very
pleasant conversation.  In short:  Californians -- expect to see Jed this
winter quarter (Or semester, if you're a heathen).

To me, it sounds like you have bit in to Jed's message.  If you want to think
like he does, that's OK.  However, don't try to infect the rest of us with Jed's
outrageous messages.  I don't think I want the same chance that Jed got.

I question whether you feel the same as Mark about being tolerant of everyone,
since you seem to fit so comfortably into Jed's footsteps.  If your best friend
told you he/she was gay, what would you do?

 Okay, but this is so far beyond the scope of alt.brother-jed that I'm
crossposting to rec.arts.sf.science and setting the followups there. 
 
 Kornbluth says that all the "smart" people will have fewer children, 
the "stupid" people will have lots of children because they're too dumb
to realize that they're contributing to overpopulation, and the result 
is a population bomb of stupid people. 
 
 Problems with this:
 
 1) Intelligence is not an inherited trait. There is enough variation 
in the chromosomal crapshoot that a child can wind up significantly 
above or below the intelligence level of the parents.
 
 2) It is not the _unintelligent_ people who have more children, but 
the _uneducated_ ones. Look at the recent Worldwatch report which shows
that countries in which women are denied access to education have the 
worst population problems. For that matter, look at the United States, 
where the birth rate for the white population (the best educated group)
has pretty well leveled off, but the minority groups are expected to 
keep increasing at the current rate for at least several more decades.
 
 (Note to those who followed the genetics-and-population debate a few
months back: it looks as though I was mistaken about the US achieving 
zero population growth. Current Census Bureau predictions expect the 
US population to reach 275 million by the turn of the century and about
385 million in fifty years.)

Yes please, there's a fuckload of sin down here, send this righteous man south
immediately. Tell him a reliable source said WA is especially sinful - there
may be an antichrist living there, or at the very least an anti-Judas or two.
Remember, if it wasn't for Judas your redeemer would have had a real problem
proving himself. Really, all Jesus did was what came naturally. It was Judas
that made an effort. Praise him. Apologies to Borges.

 Er, I'm sorry, but while "The Marching Morons" is a good science fiction 
story, its central premise is fallacious. 
 
 Sorry that this has nothing to do with Brother Jed. He never seems to 
make it to upstate NY, but I do enjoy reading about his antics.
