Here in Ohio there is a festival celebrated in Twinsburg called Twins Day. Twins from all over the country come to revel in their unique sameness. Most dress alike to accent the carbon copy effect. A scientific study was once done on identical twins separated soon after being born. These twins, some living in different parts of the country, made choices about mates, pets, and even the brand of beer they drank that were uncannily similar. This brings to mind an old three stooges short subject. Two so called professors debate which, hereditary or environment, plays the starring role in the way a person thinks and acts. They chose the stooges as their subjects. The experiment ends in a massive pie throwing fight. Even the professors and their high society guests engage in the whipped cream mayhem.
This brings me to the conclusion that the human animal doesn't really have free will. He or she is genetically encoded to act or think a certain way. All the choices made by our ancestors were directed by their gene pool, and unless, do to environmental mis-adventure, the choices they made and we make are pre-programmed. This brings us to the two political parties in the United States. We are pre-programmed to be progressives or conservatives. As Curly, in the three stooges short said. "Have no qualms or trepidations" as to the inevitable outcome. It has already been decided.
