That is very incisive, indeed. Where do they teach such a powerfully simple - or shall I say simplistic? - way of arguing and studying social behavior?

Wow, how profound. Thanks for enlightening me. I thought that life an all forms known to us was about hierarchy and domination - so nihil novi sub solem. Or stated differently, inequality and domination of one life form over another is a basic fact of life, a constant if you will, that affects every life form on Earth. That is not particularly revealing or interesting. A more interesting part of it is that it affects different life forms differently, so an inquiring mind would want to know why. The key word here is "know," which in my book does not mean parroting party lines.

What makes you think that I want unity, or even being on the same boat, with people whose views an opinions I do not hold in a particularly high regard?
