So what?

Of course human beings are civilized! Humans sport Peter England, John Mills, Raymonds and United Colors of Benetton, do they not? They cannot get enough of AXE and PLAYBOY; they indulge in manicures and pedicures. They watch TV, play music on iPods, drink water cooled in a refrigerator and shoot down enemy soldiers on a PlayStation. Heck, it is they who make the world go around! Of course humans are civilized! So what if they spit out the window of a bus in motion, without sparing a thought for the pedestrians? So what if they tend to their teeth with a toothpick after a wholesome meal and, on recovering pieces of unchewed food, throw them wherever they feel like? So what if they chop off the heads of live poultry and then hold them by their wings to watch the beheaded birds convulse to death? So what if they cheer on lustily, baying for blood, as farm animals are offered as sacrifices to appease a 'goddess'? So what if their hot topic of discussion the day after the worship of the said 'goddess' is whether or not the executioner managed to severe the head of he sacrificial animal with one clean blow? Humans are the torch-bearers of civilization, aren't they? Of course they're civilized then!
