nature nurture II

I see a lot of birth certificates. I'm an administrator; the man. They’re mainly British or African or European. They ask for the occupation of the father and it’s interesting to see them: ‘lathe hand’, ‘farmer’, ‘chemical salesman’. Today I saw an American birth certificate from the ‘60’s – it asked for the ‘color or race’ of both parents. Both parents were white. The marriage certificate of the son and his wife asked for their occupation. They were both accountants.
