I often like animals better than people.
There was an experiment with chimps, I think, where chimps were taught to get food by pushing a button. Two chimps were then placed in tanks next to each other and when either chimp pressed the button they still got food but the other chimp would get an electric shock. The chimps refused to eat.
OTOH, you may have heard about: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milgram_experiment
People just aren't all they're cracked-up to be.

Anything that uses the word "mush" to describe itself, can't be good for you.

Nice town. Amish people with horses. The border collie freaked the hell out when she saw her first.
