In the mix of cultures and the transformation of societies our view may or
may not bend toward acceptance of different behavior, behaviors we
ourselves would not accept or imitate. However, the rationalization that
any manipulation of people, small numbers to whole nations is leadership
is the same rationalizatoin the questions the definition of "is" and
weather certain sexual activities are "sex" or just a "realyionship that
others don't understand."
