I hate to have to inform you, my friend...your illusions of people being "inherently" good...of sincerely willing to do the moral thing...NOT.Idealistic philosophies, whether political, religious, or social have been kicked around and embraced--typically by well-heeled, educated types insulated from the real blood, death, rape and cruelty that exists every day for the majority of humanity for a very long time.I'm not criticisng you, or mocking you by the way. Just contrasting your sincere ideas as outlined above.Throughout history...ancient Greece, Ancient Rome...Ancient Persia, Ancient China...hell, even the Ancient Celts...yeah, the vast majority of people, *most* of the time...will be more than willing and capable of killing...murdering...torturing, raping, imprisoning, poisoning, bankrupting, or otherwise ruining anyone and everyone that stands in their way of personal wealth, glory, power, and pleasure. Men and women alike have poisoned, slaughtered, or imprisoned their own children, their own siblings, even their husbands or wives, to get rid of them so *they* could get all the wealth, power and pleasure for themselves.It's a sad fact of history, my friend. and of human nature. Oh, and it's not limited to merely being expressed by the wealthy, powerful, or royalty...history is full everywhere...of the poorest people being quite willing to throw their friends or family under the bus, or sell them, or otherwise betray them, if the price is right.Too often, this kind of behaviour and ruthless selfishness is the *rule*...the *norm*....rather than the exception.Semper Fidelis,SHARK</blockquote>
