>> the climate determines how barbaric or non barbaric you are?? The Eastern Europeans were putting heads on pikes well into the twentieth century. Nazis - well we don't need to say much about them. French were guillotining until the 1970s and doing it publicly into the 1930s. Romans? They had their Circus. There is no obvious skin-color, latitude or temperature correlations evident - perhaps a mild correlation to population density. When people are plentiful - seeing a few mistreated doesn't seem to rile anyone unless they are socialized to not tolerate that. When they are all known to you personally - they are likely to be seen as having more value. If they are external to your group, then they are fair game. Which state had no rates of barbarity in this country's checkered past? It is revisionist to see this in others without recognizing it in ourselves.
