Human nature truth ftw.
We can quote all the books we want - people are corrupt and even modern day armies (or politicians/power groups) mistreat and abuse people. And "human rights" have really only been around for the last 50 or 60 years (and even the nations that "signed" onto them . . ignore them when its convenient). Prior to that they were laws meant to empower certain groups or classes of people.
I disagree with the words used by Marlboro. Everybody generally sees himself or herself as a good person, or in the right, its society that determines if they are though.
