Idiots

Idiots are inevitable. They are part of us. Stupidity is part of human nature and will remain so in foreseeable future. I don't advocate compromise with criminals. Criminals are to be put away. Criminals can be Americans, Jews, Arabs, Puerto Ricans even Bulgarians that doesn't make them any different.
By cooperation I mean real cooperation between people genuinely set to help each other not from some imagined altruistic motives buy to promote their own self interest. People can achieve great things only in cooperation. Alone we are no better than monkeys.
I don't intend to abandon civilization because of a bunch of criminals whose actions will ultimately lead to their demise because we want let them have their way.
It's not "us" and "them" it what's right and what's wrong.
