i'd love a copy of your "list" -- send me one.

(this ought to be interesting....)

anyway, on topic:

my thoughts: race, as used my humans, is merely a means of delineation and seperation. period. as discussed before the scientific "proof" is dubious (generally based upon a political or social desire to be distinct, and generally superior). that said, since the means of delineation DOES exist (even with it's faultiness), i think it is unwise to merely discount it. in other words, like it or not/fair or not/justifiable of not/provable or not -- race DOES exist, if for no other reason that SOME accept the concept.

(side philosophical question: is existance proved by mankind's ability to observe or imagine? i gues this is similar to the "if a tree falls in the woods" thing...)

ps - good looking to the player who used the archives. THAT'S exactly the reason why it's there.
