Matt, consider this. In the old west, the buffalo herds would roam the
plains, pursued by predators. The weakest and slowest buffalo would
be picked off first, and the remaining survivors would live to reproduce,
so in fact predation kept the herd strong.
The consumption of alcohol is known to kill brain cells, but fortunately
it kills the slowest and weakest brain cells first. This is why one gets
so much smarter after three or four beers. Perhaps you should drink
more. {8^D spike
