Exactly what "socialist agenda" do you refer to David?

You've got me stumped. (Or, rather, "soapboxed")

I cannot take issue with your claim that "human nature" has not changed during your lifetime - that is your subjective opinion, which I respect. Perhaps within your lifetime human social "natures" (manners, attitudes, raison d'etre) have not changed perceptibly.

In what context, though, are you using the word "nature"? For human "Natures" (our somatic, material beings) have indeed CHANGED DRASTICALLY. The proliferation of human-engineered chemicals in our biosphere (from DDT to rGBH to Agent Orange) have proved how great a change we can make in our genes alone (often for the worst, in the aforementioned cases). In order for me to better understand what you mean, I need clarification, dialectic, discussion, amiable worthless internet chatting to pass the time - in short, anything but an empty tirade.

So, I accept your comments with a peaceful heart - but would ask you to back them up with something of more substance. Your assumptions and labeling only limits our possibilities to learn from one another.

Youth is a phase that I will gain wisdom to grow out of.
