#1 That explains a lot about Western politics in the last generation.

#2 Or it could be the result of policies that enact practices that undermine natural selection. The cultural push for a static environment which does not press upon its inhabitants, regardless of species, to adapt to change will result in a flatting of variation and subsequently the many allied 'aspects' that separate successful progenitors.

That explains a lot about Western politics in the last generation.

So, you think there's a possible corollary with the ratification of the 19th Amendment and this? [duck and cover] :)

#3 It could also explain the explosion of 'gender confused' people in our country.

#6 Hermaphroditic freaks have been a part of nature for as long as anyone's been paying attention. A brief perusal of Roman portent records will show you *that*. This 'report'? Chowderheaded grant-mongering FUD.

#7 Mitch, it's not that hermaphrodites and sexual abnormalities exist, but what is their frequency distribution over time? The data doesn't exist until, maybe, recently.

It is known that exposure to sex hormones and analogues can even change the sex in some test species. It is not a stretch, otherwise animal modeling of human diseases has been a terrible mistake, to think that human fetuses are also affected. What is known is that post WW2, industrialized nations' male sperm counts have been halved and synthetic female hormones and analogues (e.g. plasticizers) have seen widespread entry into our environment. To think that it only affects sperm counts and not other physical parameters and especially behaviors, I think is a bit of a stretch.

In the mean time, it is prudent to avoid plastic containers. Especially the soft ones that get heated (e.g. frozen food trays, drink bottles, cheap food containers, plastic baby bottles) and more easily release additives.

#8 Scientific proof of scripture? This Bible passage from Isaiah came to mind:
"Wail, for the day of the LORD is near;it will come like destruction from the Almighty. Because of this, all hands will go limp, every man’s heart will melt.
Terror will seize them, pain and anguish will grip them; they will writhe like a woman in labor. They will look aghast at each other, their faces aflame. See, the day of the LORD is coming—a cruel day, with wrath and fierce anger—to make the land desolate and destroy the sinners within it. The stars of heaven and their constellations will not show their light. The rising sun will be darkened and the moon will not give its light. I will punish the world for its evil, the wicked for their sins. I will put an end to the arrogance of the haughty and will humble the pride of the ruthless. I will make man scarcer than pure gold, more rare than the gold of Ophir."

The Hebrew word translated 'man' means specifically 'young men' and their judgment seems to be directed at their manhood, but the pollution from burning Kuwaiti oil wells and terror regional young males inspire also seems to fit the prophecy. In other words, women may very well rule the world some day.

#10 Although the Telegraph story didn't say it, many researchers in this field believe that the principle source of this gender impact pollution is birth control pills.

Taking these pills makes women's wastes contain a realtively high amount of estrogen and progesterone. Current sewage treatment does not destroy these hormones and the solids from sewage treatment plants are used as soil enrichment for agriculture in many countries.

#11 And then, as I have said many times from the pulpit....there is the dreaded run-off which is
injested by Green Monkeys and creates HIV. It's a Pfizer, GlaxoSmithKline plot I tell you, a genocidal plot!

#12 Pollution by hormones (such as oral contraceptives --> urine --> water supply) and by artificial chemicals that mimic hormones (such as some plastics) really are a serious issue with unprecedented impacts. 

I have a relative who's a developmental geneticist. She's been tracking this for a while now and is deeply concerned.

#14 I think any resin-activated carbon filter would work ($20). At home, my drinking water uses a 3 stage reverse osmosis filter (sediment, RO, activated carbon, $300).
