Their outlook on life is Survival of the Fittest. If you're strong enough, you live. If you don't, you die. ---- Except, of course, that Darwin didn't mean it like that. Environmental fitness does not equate to "might makes right," no matter how much the Bush administration would have us believe that. Industrial mellanization of moths (an example of "survival of the fittest" in the correct sense) is not the same as "I'm bigger than you and richer than you, so I win."
