Thoughts on circumcision

Now I'm wondering.

Is circumcision really all that impressively wonderful? I mean, from a sexual standpoint, I've heard it both ways. But then, there's the medical standpoint - that bit o' skin is a haven for germs and disease that will inevitably cause you to wish for the Bobbit maneuver just to get it to stop, and I can understand that. But then, if it was really all that bad for you, by preventing it from happening artifically we're standing in the way of evolution. Nature was obviously selecting for males who are born circumcised, and we've taken it out of her hands.

Obviously, the only answer here is to start a eugenics program. Girls, start selecting for males who are uncircumcised, but who are approaching the circumcised state - the smaller that bit o' skin is, the better. Guys, Give your children a chance. Demand that your sons be left uncut.

This message brought to you by the Hatred and Bigotry Council of North America. First, we establish the problem, then we start hating those who are causing the problem. Ideally, we can identify several different sets of genetic inadequacies, and make them mutually contradictory in some way, so you always have a reason to hate your neighbor for something. If, god forbid, someone is born who is perfect according to our strictures, we can either make up new strictures, or hold that person up as the ideal of humanity and make everyone hate him Because He's Better. As long as we bring that person up to depise those who are inferior to them, we're set.
