Blood is sea water as I said. It is thicker than plain water only because of its saline and particulate content. Blood is a medium for the transport of nutriants to and waste products from the body's cells. Psycho-social associations with blood are irrelevant. The Idea of »RACE« is a nonsequetor. Who I am has nothing to do with the blood in my veins. Who I am has to do with the society I was born into and grew up in.
