I am not surprised that we go to war. I am not surprised that we inflict all sorts of horrors upon one another.

The stakes are relatively low here, but there is still an incredible amount of conflict.

This site is dedicated to discussing science and is where you would expect to find mature, enlightened, articulate individuals who have a concern with understanding the universe, humanity and improving this world.

But what do we find but cat-fights, squabbles over inanities and disrespectful insults.

If people here cannot get along and show respect, how can we expect anyone to.

SAGG - the human race in Microcosm.

I may be losing hope and becoming more cynical.
