    Re: Ribbons and garters,, ^^

    He would have had a pretty solid case, if he had said "Homo". That would have been the genus we happen to belong to and it does have (used to have) non-human (Homo sapiens) members. But somehow I don't think he was talking about taxonomy.

    You dang right I was talking about taxonomy, I did say "homo" and you just pushed my point home even if I screwed that up myself.

    My point is, not all members of the genus "Homo" are homo sapiens. And I only consider our species to be 'human beings' (set aside the Latin meaning of homo for now) OK, maybe I should have said I don't consider other members of our genus to be"people" , I also do not consider all members of the genus "Thamnophis" to be garter snakes. Some are ribbon snakes you homo!
