I mean just because you and I don't do it does not mean someone else won't. Not everybody thinks of us as wonderful examples. In fact, we are probably seen as a pain in the ass. Mankind wants what it wants like water seeks its own level. A lot of our fellow humans feel deprived if they go through a day without killing something...or a lot of somethings. It might be bugs, or various mammals or children or grandmothers or you know, democracy. They just need to kill something otherwise it is a wasted day for them. 

Some old guys are much more disgusting than others, Don and Bibi rate really high on the disgusting scale. One is slaughtering children in Gaza, the other is crapping his pants and trying to annihilate democracy.

Gross! 

I think we've been reduced, Mick, to trying to figure out which one of these psychotic loons is going to kill the least stuff, and trying to get behind that one because by doing so we contain some of the damage. 

Call it what you want, but as long as we've got humans, we're going to have mass murderers. They just like it way too much no matter what we say. We can slow them down, we can lower the kill rate, but these people want to kill something or their day is a disaster.
