Those who are truly pacifist are probably better able to divert those energies into say, hookers and blow.

It doesn't mean that people aren't attracted to accidents, crime scenes, blood sports, britney spears, or unfortunate accidents that happen to people (ala darwin awards). Also theres sex as violence, which is a very taboo subject... That whole, I love you/I hate you thing which generates probably the same emotional intensity.


There is probably a good reason why people are still enamored with violence, as having a singular unifying structure which minimizes the individual can stratify and generate cascading failures of structure. The anarchists were right to a certain point. Anyways it's still a fundamental question for each individual to ask who they are and what do they want. Where are they going? (Yes it can be whittled down to B5 questions, which are universal themes anyways.)
