I'm just going to interject by stating that we men do have another waste disposal system that exits out our 'procreation system'.
though on a related note, humans are most decidedly not built with any kind of perfection. I'm sure future geneticists will come up designs for the human body that nature has come up with so far. Our body is littered with unnecessary relics, like an ancient house that has been refurbished and renovated again and again over the years.
... made in god's image (a supposedly perfect being) my ass.
If today you can take a thing like evolution and make it a crime to teach in the public schools, tomorrow you can make it a crime to teach it in the private schools and next year you can make it a crime to teach it to the hustings or in the church. At the next session you may ban books and the newspapers...
Ignorance and fanaticism are ever busy and need feeding. Always feeding and gloating for more. Today it is the public school teachers; tomorrow the private. The next day the preachers and the lecturers, the magazines, the books, the newspapers. After a while, Your Honor, it is the setting of man against man and creed against creed until with flying banners and beating drums we are marching backward to the glorious ages of the sixteenth centry when bigots lighted fagots to burn the men who dared to bring any intelligence and enlightenment and culture to the human mind. ~Clarence Darrow, at the Scopes Monkey Trial, 1925
Politics is supposed to be the second-oldest profession. I have come to realize that it bears a very close resemblance to the first. ~Ronald Reagan
