I would contend that fully 90% - about 270,000,000 people - are, by and large, perfectly nice folks who want to lead a good life and have no desire to hurt anyone. And at least 50% - 150,000,000 or so - would, I think, qualify as "good people".

But you see, Rangertab1 - it isn't about their merit as people, nor mine, nor anyone else's. It is about the external forces which may drive their behavior - and that of billions of other perfectly nice people. Therein lies the problem.

If you're interested, perhaps we could start a new thread on the subject. Please PM me if you'd like to do that.
