Chuck, in the chimpanzee and animal world it's a matter of who's the biggest thug and in olde-style human tribalism it was who has the biggest club. But as the USA found in Vietnam, Lebanon and other places, it's not just club size that matters. Drive for show [with a Big Bertha golf club] and putt for dough. Attitude, brains and co-operation beat big, tough, grunt in many spheres of human life.

Humans aren't chimps or animals [other than in a generic sense]. We are different from animals. That reality bites back. It bit so hard that the Twin Towers are gone. Box-cutters ahead on points at 3000 plus some big buildings.

At Waco, the biggest club killed off nearly all the men, women and children in David Koresh's base. But reality bit back and Invictus got some airtime as a result of a fertilizer and diesel truck bomb in downtown Oklahoma.
