Interesting point, Len. You and I, as rational people, will try to be civil in our own spheres.

Which leads to the question of why GROUPS of people seem to become more primal than the individuals who comprise those groups. MOBS might go out for a lynching, but individuals rarely do. And entire SOCIETIES will support actions much more cruel than the average members of those societies.

Interesting point to ponder.
