Hello, my fellow purebloods (and a few half-bloods and a few mudbloods)!

A study has been made that shows that people in a lifelong relationships -read: marriages- have a lesser risk of Alzheimer's Disease. In Fox News a "Conservative Christian Republican" decided to explain to the viewers why this study does not apply to Americans.

Brian Kilmeade: We keep marrying other species and other ethnics--

Interviewer: Are you sure they are not suffering from some of the causes of dementia right now?

Kilmeade: The problem is the Swedes have pure genes. They marry other Swedes, that's the rule. Finns marry other Finns; they have a pure society. In America we marry everybody. We will marry Italians and Irish.

Well... I don't feel particularly pure-blooded. I could also point out that Finland probably was a mingling point for several ethnicities after the Ice Age: the ones who came here from the south, the originals, the people living in our neighbours... But of course in addition to being a "Conservative Christian Republican" Kilmeade is probably also a "Young Earthist" thinking his god huffed and puffed the world into existence out of nothing 6,000 years ago, hence there never was an Ice Age because, you know, the god only planted different layers of soil and stones and fossils and such to test our faith in his book, which never actually states any specific year zero. That's the result of Christian mathematics.
