They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
We will remember them.

I know I'm a day late, but I spent yesterday thinking a lot about my father. He was in the US Navy in WWI, serving on battleships. He even got to stand for review by the King of England, when the king visited my dad's ship. I just wish he had lived long enough to meet the lady who became my wife, and to meet our crazy, uniquely bizarre and wonderful sons. He would love their sense of humor, but would blame ME for it...just as I blame him for mine.

Once read a great saying: 'How would it be if they gave a war, and no-one came?'
If we human beings were half as intelligent as we like to think we are, there would be no fallen soldiers to mourn for.

Sadly you seem to be right... but testosterone can be used positively just as well as negatively. That's where we need the intelligence...

Ever witnessed a "girl" fight? Besides being sexy as all heck they are downright VICIOUS!!!
Ayup. But when it happens it's usually got something to do with men, and it doesn't happen anywhere near so often as "guy" fights. When it DOES happen, it's usually total war; no pushing, pussyfooting, or posturing: "go nuclear" and get 'er done. And it stays private and doesn't "go contagious" into a general brawl.
A lot less damaging to the public civility.
Cheers,
Wes
