With my comments now and then I may be leaving a Love'em'all/flowerchild/sleazy taste behind. I hope anyhow it is just my own overdose of self-criticism...

I do not know how I would behave in these exceptional (exceptional? who's exception here?) circumstances. Probably would fit perfectly the role of an average middle-of-the-road a*hole.

However, why average middle-of-the-road a*holes die in wars, get killed / pillaged / raped in Darfour right this very moment, get mowed down in few days (order of magnitude 8000) in Srebrenica, is not the problem, that's eating me right now. This is (just, just?) a fact - can't be a problem anymore, sadly.

My problem is the human being on the other side of the looking glass: safe bet another average middle-of-the-road a*hole, who was told, some big Dodo is on his side and was then given a Kalashnikow.

end of rant

PS: this question of why human is supposed to be good - and not evil, the ethical anti-matter wonder - is probably a thou plus years old. There's been answers suggested, several, I guess. I just have yet to find a satisfactory one.
