    Is this just adding complications to the very simple creature we call the homo-sapien?

    NO ! ! !  The quote identifies self evident truth which simplifies any of the simple creature we call the homo sapien - life's scenarios.

    This is what makes America wonderful...individual liberty to be oneself as long as not oppressing or harming another.
