Man on radio (approximately, you're going to have to trust me to give the jist fairly accurately): "It's very good that Susan Boyle went on the programme and displayed her talent, and impressed a good number of people. It really improved the image of people with learning disabilities. However, once she became famous we needed to take more care of how we treated her, and show more understanding of her condition."

I try not to fall into a naturalistic fallacy. I like to think I am not that stupid. But I do know that as we stray from stable biological/sociological conformations the stress we come under doubles and redoubles. A happy society of peoples will be in harmony with their material nature - not that we can hope to understand this soon. Yet another argument against design: who would design a race of creatures that could never be made happy?
