Weby-Thanks for the website. I do watch the latest swirls in the political winds. It's interesting to watch the candidates establish their platforms and strategies in these early stages.

Regarding the Darwinistic view of human interactions, I guess I see too many problems with a pure application of Darwin to society. Don't get me wrong, I know Darwin is THE key to understanding biological developments, but, human interactions are just too far from basic biological processes like reproduction, hunting, foraging and evasion. I think that human society has blunted or eliminated the effects of evolutionary forces from much of our lives-by the application of cooperative approaches to the challenges that we face, such as medicine.

Darwin might be a good metaphor within which to consider changes and "progress," but human interactions are subject to far more than survival of the fittest-or, more closely, survival to the age of reproduction.

In any case, thanks for the discussion. It's good to stretch the mental muscles regularly. I may not have stretched you and Alea as much as you have streched me, but it has been much enjoyed on this end. Have a great day.
