The article didn't articulate the particular relationship between the so-called creativity gene and speech impediments. If we're to suppose that the relationship is proportional, then one could suppose that anyone with a speech problem was also short-changed in the creativity department. With that said, here's a very short list of stammering creative types: Robert Boyle; Lewis Carrol; Charles Darwin; Issac Newton; Virgil. Or maybe their stammering inspired their creativity (with, maybe, stammerers being more socially isolated and, therefore, more prone to introspection and, eventually, discovery)? Or is the relationship just the opposite. Let's see. Almost any fast-talking politician. Yes. They're artistic-creative. AREN'T THEY! Who knows; lots of holes in the article.
Question: How do you make President Bush and his "real" constituency soil their adult diapers?
Answer: Have them read the article!
To the article authors: Hire some body guards!
BTW: You have to wonder how much energy (initially) it would require to manufacture, say, a modest 100 kW solar power plant and the amounts of pollution that manufacturing process would produce. I guess, eventually, with enough solar power plants humming away, providing enough energy to manufacture other solar power plants, this question would be academic.
You stated that the brain can be affected by birth defects, and that it can be damaged by chemical abuse. Let's see. Birth defects can be caused by tabacco smoke, alcohol consumption, and God knows what else: Polluted air and water? And chemical abuse implies that the brain can be affected also by substances not normally in our bodies. Contrary to the intent of your message, these all sound like environmental factors to me.
