Humans are a complicated, messed-up, and wildly interesting species.

I once knew a surgeon from Kamloops and happened to share a flight to Vancouver with him once. Generally speaking, we knew of each other and had phone conversations about prescriptions/patients, but nothing outside of work.
As we get to talking he tells me he left South Africa because the violence there. According to him it's because the native African population had been warring for so long they were simply evolved to be violent. Also, his friend had invented a new anti-inflammatory based on some herbal nonsense. He offered to cut me in on the stock. I politely declined and was quiet the rest of the trip.
