Who is? The people trying to make natural tendencies taboo, or the people becoming impassioned or contrary because of it? I'd call the first group Republicans, and the second Libertarians. |
I guess I need to put a laughing icon or such because I tend to forget that sarcasm does not lend well to this medium. It was more of a commentary towards "PC" then the CSGP. But since you bring it up SS: natural tendencies of people, is it in the biological sense or the created sense in concepts such as laws, mores, morality? Taking it to the basest nature, homo sapien sapien is a primate, that is highly adaptable to it's environment. In that sense, procreation can be considered a natural tendency. Yet, "pro choice" a banner issue the Democratic party flies rather proudly is contrary to procreation.
Darwin was chastised for his theory of Evolution which posited a very plausible explanation of how things came into being. National health care and welfare, which is another banner issue for the democrats flies in the face of nature: survival of the fittest.
And Libertarians argue just for argument's sake.
Neither side is right. But that is what happens when we forget that though homo sapien sapien is highly evolved and can use reasoning, they are still animals....
