Human beings perennially argue about morality. If it doesn't matter, then we may as well have slaves on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, and free them on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday, with wild card Sundays. If it is a question of era, how do we know when the time of a certain practice has passed, or come again? There is still slavery in the Sudan; maybe the South shall rise again. If it does matter, than there must be a context, however inexact, for argument, and the concept of "natural law" provides such a context.......

Nobody who had ever studied, say, the Yanomamoa would think that they were like the iKung, or that either were like the Tarahumara. And so on, and so forth. It's easy to be an armchair philosopher, harder to reconcile ideals with reality.
