Lee Hall - Fine letter and so true. It is a shame humans are not born with an innate knowledge of the principle that the scale of difficulty in accomplishing a task is directly proportional to the accuracy of its proper accomplishment. The easy methods of violence (from warring action to screaming in anger) are the least effective in solving concerns.
