Hi Mark

This one caught my eye in your response to Arlo.

So would you say that it is wrong for a static social pattern, such as a 
law, to dominate certain biological patterns?
F.ex. Laws against rape and murder (and let's not forget pillage and 
plunder - always favourites in the old days!).
These laws (social patterns) are quite static, going back centuries, but 
the acts they are designed to prevent are dynamic biological acts, in 
the sense that I believe you are using the term.
