    We aren't.

    It pisses many people off, especially religious types, but it is what it is. We are mammals.

    •  Your argument is excessively redundant (0+ / 0-)

      So "We're mammals!" is now a catch-all excuse for politicians behaving abominably.

      No. We obviously are mammals, but we also have a consciousness which allows us to make choices that go beyond impulsive, instinctual or irrational behaviors.
