"Joan, I think I need to connect the dots. In one post, I wrote:

"Homer, I am troubled by one sentence you wrote and wonder if that sentence still stands in modern culture, from your point of view. As a feminist, I see that attitude is a construct that has no validity. The sentence is:
"women are reduced to…"

"Human morality comes from the design of the societal structure that you live in. This is why it is ever changing. Evolution marches along and morality is different in other societies and other countries. It always will be. "

"Anthropological research has shown that the degree of dependence of women on men in hunting-gathering societies varies with the importance of large animals as a source of meat. Women can trap or kill small animals as well as men can, so they…"
Homer Edward Price commented on Loren Miller's group Quotations – Momentous, Memorable, Meaningful
"To requote Sam Harris,
Rational, open-ended, honest inquiry has always been the true source of insight into such [moral] processes.
That was the method used the Quakers in their meetings; they thought their ideas were implanted in them by God,…"

"Homer, you wrote, "The invention of cooking — even more than agriculture, the eating of meat, or the advent of tools — is what led to the rise of humanity."
Yes, the process of cooking food could very well be the thing…"
