"Mark Steyn discusses the shocking truth--that George Bush didn't invent war:
Lawrence Keeley calculates that 87 per cent of primitive societies were at war more than once per year, and some 65 per cent of them were fighting continuously. "Had the same casualty rate been suffered by the population of the twentieth century," writes Wade, "its war deaths would have totaled two billion people." Two billion! In other words, we're the aberration: after 50,000 years of continuous human slaughter, you, me, Bush, Cheney, Blair, Harper, Rummy, Condi, we're the nancy-boy peacenik crowd. "The common impression that primitive peoples, by comparison, were peaceful and their occasional fighting of no serious consequence is incorrect. Warfare between pre-state societies was incessant, merciless, and conducted with the general purpose, often achieved, of annihilating the opponent." "

Of course anyone who has studied anthropology should already know this.

But I guess next shocking truth will be that living in primative society is no picnic. Hmm, reminds me I wonder what orgins of "camping" are.

"One of the very first known campsites was that of the Cunningham Camp in Howstrake, Isle of Man which opened in 1894; and strangely enough all of the campers were male."

Strange isn't it? I wonder if it has anything to do with warfare. In war you are camping.
