    Was watching a 2011 Brit movie, "Attack The Block".
    It's about the bad end of London and the little
    thugs/robbers/rapists that live there in a near-
    feral state.

    Then aliens attack - big black things that act like
    rabid wolves. The little hard-ass thugs fight them.

    There have always been a percentage of such aggressive
    double-alpha types.

    It came to me ... many of these "bad boys" would
    NOT have been so even a few hundred, or thousand,
    years ago.

    They would have been the ones hunting the mammoths,
    killing the big dangerous cats. They would have been
    the ones defending the tribe, the village, the
    city, the city-state, the nations, from outside marauders.
    They would have been hero soldiers and kings - lauded
    in song story and legend.

    So, it's worth noting these people are not 'sick',
    they are part of the normal human spectrum - and
    CAN be valuable IF properly directed.

    But 'society' changed, left THEM behind, cut
    them out of the equation. Thing is, they're
    not gone and are not going away.

    How do we balance all this ???

    Well, first off ... the international situation is
    going to shit, again. ID the strongest punks and
    shift them into military programs - rangers,
    berets, SEALS, special-ops and such. Give their
    inherent nature a MISSION.
