Let me move from the theoretical to the actual. If you take the time to actually observe animal populations you will find that behavior is highly regulated, particularly in mammals and birds, although you will also find evidence of it in fishes and reptiles. Much of this behavior is innate. The implication, of course, is that it is a manifestation of the genetic code of the organism. It is inseparable from the organism, not an adjunct to it. Arguments to the contrary remind me either of the vapidity of Marxist science in their attempts to re-engineer human behavior (because it negated the role of genetics in behavior) or Utopian socialism.

When you have restored the inner man with some dinner and returned, I should very much like to see your response to this part of Chuzz's post. It appears to me that he has you on the hip. As a libertarian, I am curious to read your dealing with the reconciliation.
