That's a salient point. Consider the adage "We're only three square meals away from a revolution." It's difficult to imagine the mayhem and cruelty committed in any (ALL!) of our larger cities by those in search of a meal and clean water. We would quickly discover just how paper-thin the veneer of civilization covering our true animal nature.
