IMHO humans have a 'default' genetic program to obtain the greatest
benefit with the least effort. If they default to this "program" they will
most likely use any and all means that seem to be appropriate.

Only primitive humans or sub-humans who have not yet overcome
this genetic program will use violence, coercion or "any means necessary"
to achieve their goals. This phenomenon does not have ideological
boundries. The boudaries seem simply to be - primitive individuals
use primitive means. Advanced individuals use more sophisticated
means (even if it means more "work"). And this is a continuem, not
an either/or.

IMHO the solution to primitive individuals using primitive and often
dangerous means is not to retaliate with even greater primitive and
dangerous means. This simply leads to a vicious circle.

Jason
