The best review i had of my book was by this lefty in england from a famous communist family, David iranovitch. He said that he's i amazed at the alacrity with which people move from the science to the message. And my objection to that is, i don't have a message. I say many times in the book, genetic influence is influence. It's not hard wired, deterministic, innate. If something's genetically influence, well, can't do anything about it. You know, just throw up your hands and say, wall be the way. We'll be not at all.
