the process of de-evolution has begun
in the past, poor people needed to have as many kids as possible to survive. they passed these genes onto their poor children. now, in the year 2007, having tons of kids isnt required for survival, but they are doing it anyways. that means for every scientist and doctor couple who have one child, a prison inmate and his baby's mamma have nine kids, some redneck and second cousin have seven kids. That means seven more kids believing in jesus and watching nascar versus one kid studying evolution and watching film noir. this affect will keep multipling until the educated are such a small minority that they are forced with a decision: extinction or mass genocide of the uneducated christian populations.

I just spent a week driving cross-country through the backwaters of the American pastoral and---ye gods!---every stereotype is true ten times over.

Re: the process of de-evolution has begun
If an "education" produces theories like this, then count me as happy that I belong to the great unwashed masses. You think you are great and the rest of the world are idiots; this is not a particularily novel viewpoint but it is undoubtably unwarranted.

So what is going to happen in X years?

Re: the process of de-evolution has begun
You're operating under the faulty assumption that gene quality is directly related to social class. Someone even mentioned the "educated" reproducing less. What on earth does education have to do with genetics? Is my college degree going to pass on to my children biologically? I don't think I'm going out on a limb by saying that the upper classes gene pool is not of particularly superior quality to anyone else's on average, rather it is upbringing that plays the major role (children emulate and learn from their parents).
By the way this idea/fear is way older than Mike Judge's film... It originated after Darwin's On Origin of Species and reached it's culmination in Nazi Germany. It's called eugenics. I am not totally opposed to certain forms of positive eugenics, despite its negative connotations, but I think saying "oh no, poor people are reproducing too much, we're going to deevolve" is ridiculous.
