    And then we'd get into the problem of just which two humans were
    hugging.  Adult male and female?  Uh-uh.  Abstinence!  Adult male
    and immature other?  Oh, dear, pedophilia.  Adult female and
    immature male?  Whoops! Another school scandal!  Two children? 
    Precocious sexuality - suggests abuse.  Two men?  Got to have a
    constitutional amendment against that one.  Two women?  Well, some
    might like it, but that's amendment country too.  Two indeterminate
    humans?  That would set off a crusade to determine.  No matter who
    hugs, it would offend some group with an agenda. 

    I really like the one with the circle for the earth, enclosing a
    drop of water.  Very much down to the basics.  But if you read much
    psychobiology (biopsychology?), you find that by nature we, and most
    other species, make it a point to differentiate between Us and Them,
    frequently at many levels.  Unity is a lovely idea that biology
    usually slaughters.
