Some of the worst "social cesspools" I've seen were in offices and academia amongst "respectable citizens" who thought nothing of destroying an innocent person's reputation or career simply because they were bored and wanted a bit of entertainment. Repressive religious communities are even worse. Hanging out with bikers and gang members where EBD was a very real and regular occurrence was comfortable for me. If you are an authentic person, are polite, and do dot transgress against others you are generally very safe. "Give respect, get respect." Move to a backwards rural town, a suburban condominium community, or get a job in an office environment and you can suddenly find yourself surrounded by bullies and stalkers for no apparent reason other than you're "not one of us." I prefer a place where being authentic and polite is preferred to "conformity."

I don't think any of us treat each other very well which is why I live like a recluse. I don't see any sense in living in the middle of a social cesspool where all people do is pick at each other all the time. Seen it all my life, don't want to see anymore. Guess that makes me a dick.

A nit:<br /><br />"Social violence, unlike predation, is primarily a form of communication".<br /><br />In the evolutionary ecology sense, predation is a component of natural selection and as the latter serves to explain biological adaptation(s), it deserves viewing as a form of communication as well.<br /><br />Boris Borcichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05869004550299424489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14473417.post-27599465663308459992013-03-21T13:49:27.345-07:002013-03-21T13:49:27.345-07:00For the record...
