You've got the right idea *almost*, but don't confuse human nature with the
ways of our culture. I think we're inherently good as humans. It's just the
way that we've chosen to set our civilizations up that makes us seem so
brutal. Controversy like gun control and imbalances in power and control can
be traced back to the very structure of our 'civilized' development itself.
At least, in my little mammal brain it can. Anyone interested in wacko
theories like this should really read The Story of B by Daniel Quinn. Very
persuasive, and IMHO, nothing short of revolutionary.

But whatever.
