<<You know like Americans so incensed about defense, which is a result of they watching too many western films where they saw people barricade against furious savages>>

<<...the northerners have listened to those stories and they think about a 2 million+ Km2 (nick-named Green Hell here) of area like their back yard. >>

I think people can be divided into two groups: those that view life as a battle versus nature (ie, the green hell - i love that expression!) and those that view it as a competition with other humans (always ready to find an opponent that need to be vanquished - for whatever mindless reason).

The development of an individual into one of these two types is very possibly the result of nothing more significant than some casual imprinting done in childhood.

<<why [are] northern people's mind as so fired-up by this rain forests thing.>>

the religion thing has already been done. we needed to find new ways tell other people how to run their lives...
