Me, too! I mean, I agree, in large part. Everyday life in a large city
is plenty competitive enough for me. My carefully controlled ruthless
side is something I'd rather not cultivate except in an emergency.

On the other hand, I don't see why, for those that like that sort of
thing, a competition couldn't be friendly, honorable, and enlightening.
I probably would not choose to compete, but if people could handle it, I
don't think it would be a problem. Question is, can they handle it?
