George Bernard ShawWe're human beings we are - all of us - and that's what people are liable to forget. Human beings don't like peace and goodwill and everybody loving everybody else.

They also like showing off, grabbing all they can, fighting for their rights and bossing anybody who'll give them half a chance.
