Chenkai, I have three people on my ignore list, two of the Roman Haters for being incredible spammers and Irish for being rude enough to call me a liar (even after I defended him from personal attacks), which I am not. You figure if you can get sensible and civilised replies out of him.


Winsington, I am glad to hear it, few people here I guess has read much on such matters. Which is also why referring to Darwin makes sense, for few here would know Durkheim or many other sociologists I suspect; when discussing difficult subjects it is best to keep simple-ish enough that all can understand you.

I suspect harste's little work is not available in the US, but your university library might be able to get it for you. I personally like it.
