Yep -- or it "simply must be governed as we are; anything less would be uncivilized..." Stupid egos and biases. Most of the uncivilized folks I've met have been a helluva lot more polite and honest than are most of the nominally civilized squirrels I run across.

They weren't always too clean -- but that's vastly over rated also.
