You might. You would also have to be tough. But by tough guys surrounding themselves with tough guys we have a tougher race and create a better future for humanity.
But in any event, that DOES well describe much of the Old Testament...
And any history book. Modern civilization serves only to wipe man off the face of the earth. Not that the earth would cry, I guess.
Is it? Oh, well...
Yeah, I didn't think you could defend it. Deep down you're an intelligent person.
Shalom.

Not necessarily. Tough guys surrounded by tough guys can result in:
1) Tough guys in love... no next generation. ("Mongo not that kind of boy...")
2) Tough guys who dominate their neighbors... who finally put the nerds in charge. Tough guys discover that in modern warfare, nerds win. No more tough guys.
3) Tough guys get bored and kill each other.
> I didn't think you could defend it.
That's because humans have learned that co-operation and empathy are *generally* stronger survival tools than naked greed and aggression.
