Lose the election? Whom to blame?. This may be against the noble intentions of 'civilized' world - to treat everyone according the their 'inside', no matter how they look - but, when you think about it, it's backed by millions of years of evolution!

I regard this so-called 'primitive' area very interesting and, as a force driving us to lots of activities, powerful. Power (and sex, being the result of the former) guide us through our lives, and everything seems to be entwined around it and we better admit it (unlike some people, who wouldn't admit being so 'low' and 'primitive').
