This could mean that homosexuality should have died out  long ago if it was
strictly genetic, right?  I have been pondering women's breasts (again) and
have always wondered why we have such an obsession with them. (Freud
thought that it was because we got weaned too early and developed a
fixation on them - nah).  Could EP explain that this is Nature's way of
pointing men at the right sex objects for making babies?   bill w
