Culture is a little like dropping an Alka-Seltzer into a glass - you don't see it, but somehow it does something.
I'm a great dog fanatic. My own dog died a little while ago and I take it very personally when things die - it's a major offence.
I'm not violent, I don't believe in killing people, but standing up for yourself, speaking out against injustice, is another form of vengeance.
