<Snipped quote by Tank O The Lake>

And yet, though you show us all the horrors of death and war, there [i]is[/i] a force more powerful. Tell me, what is it that gives death its power? Why do humans rule by death?
[/quote]

Because of the animal drive of humanity--and all life--that asserts that life must continue at any cost.

Because of fear.
