I raised my objections because I am concerned with
cognitive dissonance on the Left.  I just see it too
often.  If a theory, idea, or finding does not sound
"leftist" then that particular theory, idea or finding
has to be rejected, trashed (but not read) en bloc.
Leftists who dont know shit about biology suddently
become experts on the matter.  Biological determinists
are ALL working for the CIA- everyone knows that- so
let's not even approach any of their ideas with an
open mind.  Get out the matches, baby, we're going to
burn David M Buss!  The baby must be thrown out with
the bathwater, because my ideology might be threatened
if I actually made the effort to discern the latter
from the former.
