Genes. Genes for characteristics which are neither 'bad' nor 'good'. A
gene determining the formation of a larynx, let alone the medullar
equipment of gray matter for its regulation; color of eye, hair and
complexion. However, if the cognitive neuro-science paradigm
describing the human being as an ever so predictable, no less than
programmable robot off the genetic assembly-line . . . if this
deplorable theory of no dignity, no will, no soul of self-
determination for man is to be proven right, then more than mere
mannerisms must be shown to be hard-wired by the human genome.
If the boy you describe should turn out to be, upon full maturity, a
chip off the old block even to the extent that the letters of "love
children" from all over Australia, New Zealand and the Solomon Islands
are appearing in magazines in search of your boy--no, not even that
will be enough to scientifically satisfy their hackneyed "like father,
like son" claims. They must show something of biblical pro****tion
where "the sins of the fathers are visited upon the sons even unto the
tenth generation" and that such profligate randiness runs genetically
amok not only in your family but likewise with that of every other Don
Juan and Casanova in the world, from New South Wales to Seville.
And what of the alleged genetic propensity which caused John Dillinger
to rob banks? What will they say when it is shown to be the same as
that which produced the banking career of J. P. Morgan?
They are full of ****, evil Orwellian **** of the Brave New World
order of ****, and I'm glad to see that this **** is no news to
you. ;-)
