Considering that I ain't even a party member....<g> I saw your grub....nicely done...even for a stumble. I don't believe that this is a social contract. I believe that this is the same behavior that you will see with other animals too. If a lion is chowing down on a gazelle and a bunch of hyenas come over and try to take that gazelle away from that lion, that lion is going to try and put some deep claw marks in the haunches of those hyenas. The idea that stealing in nature is could have some very serious ramifications isn't part of a social contract, it is a natural response to a situation. The fact that we humans are recognizing and articulating this, doesn't mean that we are forming a contract and it doesn't mean that an outside being is defining it. It just is.
