This is why I've always thought it was dangerous to apply Darwin's theories to sociological problems. Human society far too seperated from other natural biological systems to have straight natural selection and evolution applied to it.

Darwin wasn't wrong (at least in this context), because he never meant his theory to be used in this way.
