this is just another might-makes-right argument, via ad populum/numerum. i acknowledge that this is the way nature does it, and that we're just animals and a part of nature. but, it is also amoral...that mob is not determining who is 'right', just who's strongest. man has a relatively unique need for morality. is it your opinion that we should ignore this need? maybe there's a shrink here that can tell us what happens when we ignore those needs.
