Dear David B.,
Thanks for your posting of 13 Dec 2003 12:20:18 -0700! You've said it much
better than I could have done it.
The only think I might want to add is, that there are also biological
behaviour and characteristics (i.e. hardwired patterns of behaviour and
morphology) that have no 'survival value' yet, but that are nevertheless
'tolerated' by nature, because they have little negative 'survival value'
either (e.g. albinism). They exist because they are a probabilistic outflow
(the outer ranges of the Bell curves) of other behaviours and
characteristics. They form a 'reservoir' of natural variation ('fenotypes' I
think they are called by biologists) that enable a species to adapt to
different circumstances. Maybe being at the outer range of some Bell curve
is why homosexuals are only a small percentage of the population?
With friendly greetings,
Wim
