Anthropologists have determined that in primitive hunter-gatherer societies, people spend about twenty hours per week obtaining food. The rest of the time they spend in ritual self mutilation and inter-tribal warfare.

Take a trip to the mall and notice the prevalence of tatoos and piercing. Turn on the TV news and notice the prevalence of violence in society.

People can be made as civilized as domesticated cats - it just requires a simple operation.
