Sort of kidding. ...Anyway, it's quite something to see what power does to a person. The way humans behave in situations where some tear in the usual day-to-day makes a free-for-all is pretty gross. It seems like time and time again disasters or panics (or wars or floods or droughts) happen and we get this glimpse of our animalistic selves who operate below the surface of out socially-imposed civility... Humans are pretty monstrous when stripped down to their basic imperatives. Seriously, people in life rafts (or on snowy mountainsides) EAT each other

That I totally would show my tits to get out of some ass-watery bygone-city (I've done it for less). Anything's a commodity, eh?

Do what you can with what you have, for sure. If it means "going wild" then so be it.
