People? That's a hang up we have we'd be wise to discard. We're animals, just half a chromosome away from being Bonobos and it's obvious to see. The most of us need to take an honest look around and open our ears to what is being broadcast over the airwaves loud clear: we'd kill each other for power or short term gain given the chance. Nothing much has changed since Genghis Khan or Alexander the Great or WWI or WWII or whatever your marking point may be. The name of the game used to be survival of the fittest. Give a critter a little intelligence and scheming ability and the game changes according to the rules of nature. What do we better people dream of? Well, packing the court and imposing our will, packing congress and the senate and imposing our will, and having a perpetual progressive executive and imposing our will. We are no different except in our own minds.
