The only problem I have with debates in these areas is that they tend to be a bit surreal...

Any communal creature is genetically programmed towards conformity and by definition the indians must vastly outnumber the chiefs. However humans base much in our society on the concept that we can all strive to achieve chief status and should attempt to do so. We claim to prize individuality yet it is not only largely an illusion, but even contrary to our nature.

It is the conscious perspective which provides the basis for many debates and you will rarely be thanked if you stand up and say, hang on a minute, we are not really like that...
