Genghis Khan proves Akin et alia are fools!

Genghis Khan killed families, raped the women survivors and look at how many descendants he has produced...

In 2003 a groundbreaking historical genetics paper reported results which indicated that a substantial proportion of men in the world are direct line descendants of Genghis Khan. By direct line, I mean that they carry Y chromosomes which seem to have come down from an individual who lived approximately 1,000 years ago. As Y chromosomes are only passed from father to son, that would mean that the Y is a record of one’s patrilineage. Genghis Khan died ~750 years ago, so assuming 25 years per generation, you get about 30 men between the present and that period. In more quantitative terms, ~10% of the men who reside within the borders of the Mongol Empire as it was at the death of Genghis Khan may carry his Y chromosome, and so ~0.5% of men in the world, about 16 million individuals alive today, do so. Since 2003 there have been other cases of “super-Y” lineages. For example the Manchu lineage and the Uí Néill lineage. The existence of these Y chromosomal lineages, which have burst upon the genetic landscape like explosive stars sweeping aside all other variation before them, indicates a periodic it “winner-take-all” dynamic in human genetics more reminiscent of hyper-polygynous mammals such as elephant seals. As we do not exhibit the sexual dimorphism which is the norm in such organisms, it goes to show the plasticity of outcome due to the flexibility of human cultural forms.

One of every 200 men a product of the mass murderer rapist Genghis Khan!

He killed the kids, then impregnated through rape to start his own lineage.

Should the 2006 GOP Congress be charged with premeditated murder of the USPS?

As most of you know the USPS is required by GOP law to fit their narrative that the federal government is bankrupt and is cruelly forced to pay future retirement funds for 75 years in a ten year window even though the federal government had already taken 50 -60 billion dollars from the USPS in years prior,

Now the SCOTUS in its infinite "wisdom" ruled in Citizens United that corporations are people. If someone tries to kill a corporation they should be charged with murder then!

And by extension what of Mitt Romney who by his very admission has stated that corporations are people and has driven them to their deaths?
