... and, to me, the opening post made that premise.

Maybe, I was too critical. Maybe, I'm hungover. I don't know. I still think that there are better ways to make that argument.

For what it's worth, I never believed in the "alpha" male concept as it applies today. I do think that it has its evolutionary value, but now that we are supposedly "intellectual" beings, I don't think that plays an important role, if any at all.

And as with everything in life, we are going to have examples of the premise, but the premise still needs to be proven.

I'm off to crash ... had a bad night.
