in one area of the article, only half is revealed

Post #144,992 by boxley 3/9/04 10:21:08 AM Reply	in one area of the article, only half is revealed For instance: stem-cell research. Using objections based on a weird theory that postulates the sacredness of life not yet created, fundamentalists are intent on shutting down this promising line of inquiry. Doesn't matter how many diseases might be cured or how much suffering alleviated this is true, but knowing our nature or nurture how long would it be before we would be buying, selling stocking spares? Fully functional, movable non humans that could be bought and sold like cattle. thanx, bill when I was young I envisioned myself as the embodiment of Trinity, Now I realize I have turned into the Bambino questions, help?

More disease. An awful diet. Anthropological estimates are that nomads get a lot more leisure time. And have longer life expectancies. So the brave has a better lifestyle than the peasant. He enjoys more leisure, a longer life, and better food. However the peasant needs less space and can support more kids. (Heck, the kids practically support themselves once they are old enough to work...) Which means that when you have peasants against braves, after a while there are a lot more peasants and the outcome is assured. And once the braves have been pushed around a bit, they are either dead or else trapped in a small enough space that they have to turn to agriculture. (With some exceptions. For instance the Mongols wound up ruling large numbers of peasants. Which still resulted in them being assimilated in the end...)
