>Love is consensual mutual exploitation.

Well, at least we've moved off of religion and politics....

Which are cultural creations, while love, IMHO, ain't. Culture reacts to
love, I suspect, while it creates R&P, not altogether non-reactively to
some genetic perogatives perhaps, but certainly not with the kind of
genetic burgeonings that love arises from.

We can try to understand love, but we can make religions.

David's equation above would seem to me to be a definition of marriage,
or at least a contract produced between lovers.
