I just showed you how evolutionary theory tends to go against moral licentiousness - based on the biological advantages of human altruism and cooperation. But those aren't my ideas. Richard Dawkins, Jared Diamond and others write about that.

Sexual licentiousness is a by product of civilization and is something to be addressed on its own. Transfering what is repugnant about the left and cultural and moral relativism onto evolution is not going to work. On the contrary, evolution is cultural absolutism - there is a correct way to do things - as we see when societies that engage in widespread improper conduct decline in their productivity and creativity.

Again I salute you for what, in a bygone day, would be presumed to be 'common sense'. Today you have my, and I suspect many lurkers', respect - for whatever that's worth.

I must say that I definately approve of your kind words. You may heap them on me at anytime you wish. As a matter of fact, perhaps a mutual admiration society is in order. You consistently demonstrate impeccable logic and present your points in a great way. :)
