Quote, unquote: On innate savagery

"Make no mistake, we're savages at heart. Tens of thousands cheered as Christians were thrown to the lions for sport in ancient Rome, and families travelled miles by wagon in the 1800s to watch public hangings. Now we can satisfy that natural morbid curiosity from the comfort of our homes."

-- Dave Alexander, editor-in-chief of Rue Morgue magazine, commenting on the recent gruesome murder, cannabilism and mailing of body parts hither and yon.
