Funny how people like this never seem to realize that "social Darwinism" is just the plain old classism and "let them eat cake!"-ism of the rich against the poor/racism that was around before Darwin was even a glimmer in a newt-like amphibious ancestor's eye. Or that Darwin always strenuously railed against "social Darwinism."

Maybe you'd better fish it out and, I dunno, wait for the local hazmat turn-in day.
