That's all well and good except I'm guessing that he's already passed his
genes (such as they are) along. So in about 30 years there will be
yet-another rescue of a person in a kayak with hip waders on and no PFD.

On the bright side, there seems to be no lack of attempts to weed out the
gene pool by the very people who have yet to contribute to it in any
meaningful way. At least if one believes the Jackass movies and America's
Funniest Home Videos.

I doubt anything meaningful can be accomplished before the end of the world
in 2012.
