The occasional war corrects this imbalance. We're overdue.

The longer I live, the more I recognize that everybody has a role despite any apparent flaws. Take gays-- in a hunter-gatherer society, a clique not burdened by children to protect are free to become scouts or trailblazers; they have mobility. This childless-by-choice stuff is a modern invention and not an option for sexually-active adults otherwise.

We don't all have the same purpose. We're more like ants than we want to admit.
