Hey
Baba, it's

Thanks for sending me your "Evolution of
Gayness" lyrics. I think they're great - I'dm impressed by how much
you managed to condense a difficult
subject into about four sentences, bravo
But I do have a couple of quibbles
The first thing is to do with recessive and dominant
Not all genes behave in this way; quite a lot don't
Instead of one gene taking over and being responsible for the main
effect, it's more shared,
and both copies of the gene are
contributing, so I think you should fix that
And then the other thing is that I think also morality doesn't come
from nature and I think that whether something is found in nature
doesn't make it right for humans; it's sort of irrelevant. I mean,
certainly if you were to look at nature,
you could justify pretty much any behavior,
from murdering your mother, brether, sister, rape, and so on,
and so I think that one has to be very careful about whether we look
at the natural world and sort of conclude, okay,
well it happens in nature
therefore it's fine for humans to do as well
Obviously I think homosexuality is perfectly fine regardless of who
does it, but I think that just because it's natural
does not in and of itself make it the right thing to do
Anyway, thanks again for showing them to me, and good luck
Bye
