Tony,

I think you've missed the point Tony. Who's "norm"? Wasn't it you who
brought up anthropology? Several have now pointed out that in many cultures
your view was not the norm. After reading several of the references by Mr.
Pay, it appears that "all hell" didn't break out in these cultures. It seems
that many of these cultures were very tolerant and peaceful. How telling
your statement, "And if WE were to try to force a different viewpoint from
the 'NORM', then all hell would break loose."

Who is creating the "hell"....and for who? and why?
