Hehe, well if you're in Germany, you can't use Treefinder (http://www.treefinder.de/) then.

> Starting from 1st October 2015, I do no longer permit the usage of my TREEFINDER software in the following EU countries: Germany, Austria, France, Netherlands, Belgium, Great Britain, Sweden, Denmark - the countries that together host most of the non-european immigrants.

Ah, exactly what I'm trying to point. Now we would have to find a liberal-friendly version of that software if we needed it? It would really hinder progress if this were to become a "thing". I find it destructive when authors of software with a "Google Reader effect" on their market (maybe this is not so for the "Treefinder" example, I'm talking in general), abuse their position to push for their political agenda.
Genetic heritage? What the fuck.

I guess there's some truth about what they say about genius and insanity.
