It is likely any culture who considered themselves progressive thought the same way. 'Ugliness' is not a form of deformity. It's a genetically coherent departure from the species norm ...and, e.g., could (and often does) serve as the basis for a variant in which *it* becomes the standard of beauty. 'Deformity', otoh, is a congenital error in genetic expression. Right, pounce on the letter of what was said, and ignore the gist. Just because Rich didn't repeat "the Greeks believed", you go into full 'correction' mode. I used to think that Calvin had a Christ complex, as if he were being crucified constantly, but now he has turned into Prometheus, and keeps getting his liver eaten by other posters. He probably doesn't even have a nice Chianti to go with it. |
