Dear Lenny:

:>I think that you are confusing two concepts our normative basis, which is
:>innate,
:What do you mean by innate?  Innate in what?  In our chemistry?  In our
:tendencies as a species?  In the practices of our life-world?  In language
:as such?  This term carries far too many implications too be used so
:casually.

None of your examples would differentiate the implication of "innate", for
innate means that it is part and parcel of what it is to be and in this case it
is to be human.
