Joanna,

Really interesting post.  Maybe because the only binary division of 
humans I've ever been tempted to believe in is that between Cat 
People and Dog People, and I'm the latter.

On the homo sapiens front, too, your post made a lot of sense.   I 
think I was being prickly because I've seen way too many gringos over 
the years who take any manifestation of corporal punishment as a mark 
of backwardness and of course of their own superiority.  But you, 
Carrol and Christopher R. D. were making good distinctions that bring 
wider context into the picture.  (Though C.R.D. is rather quicker to 
attribute the distinction to sweeping premodern/modern divides than 
I'll ever be.   I tell you: dog people/cat people, it's the only 
binary that holds any weight...)
