About singing and music. How do you define "a good musician" ? To me, a good musician is simply the one who brings pleasure. Thus, as Yorick said, anyone can be a good musician. I have heard many local bands that maybe didn't have a perfect pitch or an outstanding talent but knew how to make a ball or a small concert lively. Isn't that what really counts ?

Are we dropping the evolution for a moment? Well it is your topic so I have no complaints. [img]smile.gif[/img]
In my experience I do feel a difference in valor between humans. My husband is more valuable and therefore worth more to me than a stranger on a street. The same goes for the rest of my family. I know this is probably not what you intended with your question but that is the best answer I can give you. All men have the right to life; I find that a better sentence than all men are created equal.

But then we are no longer talking about humanity, rather the chance of a beneficial trait being passed on to future generations. And letīs face it, humans canīt tell that by looking at another human. Rats can though.
