You have to come drive in the Salt Lake City area during rush hour. I really 
think that mormons are rather peaceful because they get rid of aggression 
while driving? <g>

So do you think that a majority of humans are aggressive? I define 
aggression as ACTING aggressive, as Bev says, taking what you want through 
aggression and/or violence. Maybe I  live in a different world, but I don't 
see it. I see lots of peaceful people with the rare aggressive/violent 
person. Even in the inner city; for every person wanting to rob/rape/murder, 
there are 99 people who DON'T want to. That aggressive/violent person is the 
anomaly, not the norm.
