I must say that I don't think the arguments have been falling flat at all. I've learned a tremendous amount about something I didn't know existed, and I think it sounds like a great idea!

I don't see, however, that that is what makes us human. It seems to me a tricky business to determine which of our genetically-bulit-in behaviors we should demonize (murder is a good example) and which we should tolerate as "the way a person is." > No one has to agree with our lifestyle choices. > If we believe in our love strongly enough, we'll endure > whatever life dumps on us and persevere.
