Seems to me that I read somewhere about turning the other cheek. Are we destined to descend the evolutionary ladder where we feel the need to resort to violence upon one another for real or perceived slights. If you truly desire to settle things like men it can be done without violence to our fellow man.

NASCAR Fight Hearkens Back to Good Old Days;
KYRA PHILLIPS, CNN ANCHOR: NASCAR drivers Ricky Rudd and Kevin Harvick could face punishment today for some unsportsmanlike conduct over the weekend.
MILES O'BRIEN, CNN ANCHOR: The drivers and their crews squared off in a pit row row -- pit row row, I like that -- after a crash Saturday night in Richmond, Virginia. Matt Morrison joins us with more. This seems to be a trend in NASCAR these days.
MATT MORRISON, CNN SPORTS: A lot of scraping. And a couple of weeks ago it was Jimmy Spencer and Kurt Busch involved in some fisticuffs. And Saturday night at Richmond it was the entire teams of both Ricky Rudd and Kevin Harvick that were involved in a pit row row -- nice words, whoever wrote them.
It happened because late in the race, Rudd tipped the back of Harvick's car. Both were fighting for top five finishes in this one. Harvick basically went from 2nd to 16th with that little crush. And afterwards, Harvick and his entire crew met up with Rudd in pit row. Guys were stomping on Rudd's car. His team had to be restrained from getting into a flat-out fistfight with these guys.
There were no fisticuffs in this one. But both teams, and we're talking 12 members of both teams, were called to the trailers for NASCAR to be basically tongue-lashed after the race in a situation that is very ironic, because while it was both inappropriate behavior in pit row as Kevin Harvick came in crashed into Ricky Rudd's car, it was, at the same time, something that NASCAR people can't deny is probably good the for the sport.
In a situation where good guys versus bad guys has always sold the sport for 50 years, we're seeing a little bit more of that in what had become a very corporate kind of existence here over the last several years.
They have been fighting for 50 years because their passionate , I hope they never lose the passion.
