Or how about discuss your differences with neighbors civilly and without resorting to violence, whether firearms, knives, fists or baseball bats. If you can’t manage to do that, have a wiser neighbor mediate.

Arabs do that. They bring disputes to the local mukhtar, and over a Turkish water pipe not necessarily filled with tobacco, and some strong Turkish coffee the grounds of which have to settle in the cup, tempers cool and sometimes, after a lengthy conference, the disputants leave as friends. Other times, one of them turns up dead in an alleyway and it goes on and on like the Hatfields and the McCoys.

Its a pity, but Americans are no longer part of civilization.
