We all are human beings that carry that adaptation with us even though we live on a world that has become very mobile.<br />We don't get to pick the color we are because it is part of our evolution. Over time we may mitigate much of this through marriage, adaptation to our new environments, et al.<br />Race is a nonsensical categorization with little value except to those who would like to use it for for reasons that do not benefit the interests of most human beings. The emphasis of race in many ways is contemptible.<br />I suspect that some people need to learn to read better and understand that ideas are presented and commented on. Faux umbrage aside.<br />That said, it is interesting that Manning finds that he is a woman after the verdict. It might make one wonder why now. Does he think that might provide him with better treatment, better conditions, et al? Is this the same caricature that many feminists paint of men only in the reverse? We don't really know what it is to be either without living it from birth.<br />As barbaric as we are one might be careful with "spouting" supposed knowledge about something as personal as who we are as a person. Gender identification is NOT a settled science and is fraught with a large dose of Psych babble. It may be somewhat akin to believing in Freud or Marx especially given the dialectical nature of both. Empiricism seemed not to be in their bailiwick.Dennishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14962996070458991675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-76920072243061401682013-08-23T16:01:56.661-07:002013-08-23T16:01:56.661-07:00People choose their race all the time..."blac...People choose their race all the time..."black race", "white race", etc. It's meaningless as there is only one race, the human race.
