Man Isn't A Noble Savage, He's An Ignoble Savage. He Is Irrational, Brutal, Weak, Silly, Unable To Be Objective About Anything Where His Own Interests Are Involved-that About Sums It Up.

And Any Attempt To Create Social Institutions On A False View Of The Nature Of Man Is Probably Doomed To Failure.
