It is interesting to examine the gestalt of Harry Hyena hanson's post.

Note that he tries to instigate conflict
between Franz and I with his comment:
"Prof. Heymann, CERN asked you: "Are you an infant?""

and he tries to instigate conflict
between David Smith and Grandpa Wormley
and I with his comment:
"David Smith and Grandpa Wormley are beating your scrawny old ass".

In other words, Harry Hyena hanson
tries to get me to post something
that would start a fight between me and other folks.

As can be seen by examining history, current events,
or just reading the news groups, newspapers, and political commentary,
and watching TV and movies,
it is clear that some people are programmed
to instigate conflict for profit and power.

Is this Nature,
or nurture?

Is this something in the genes,
or is this something taught to the
people that instigate conflict?

And considering the enormous cost to the
peoples of the world, caused by the people
that instigate class conflict, religious conflict, etc.
what is the best solution to this problem?
