DREAMING UP THE JUST SO STORY OF HOW MAN BECAME HOMOPHOBIC (via Pepys):

Brokeback Mountain: The guilt trip continues (Robert Wright vs. Mickey Kaus, Blogging Heads)

Not only is this hilarious conversation --which is essentially just two guys trying to escape the moral nature of the fact they find anal sex repulsive-- devastating to Darwinism and homophilia but it's all made superfluous by just one line from Mark Helprin: "It should not be necessary to explain a praiseworthy revulsion."

Not only that, but how can anyone take seriously a movie which calls sheepherders "cowboys"?

How is finding anal sex repulsive "devastating to Darwinism"?

what positive role would buggery play in reproductive selection ? [to answer carter's question] more and more i am coming to believe that homosexual behavior is learned or chosen. maybe it's just another kind of dyslexia.
