Your reality is based on the idea that as a "modern" human under the same situation that these men found themselfs in, "you" would act in a more "civilized" manner and let the "authorities" handle your greviences. What will you do when those in "authority" have lined themself's as being of a superior moral class and give you "nothing" in responce. I'm guessing you'll hid your a rock and take your punishment. Researching the past, you better be looking around the world you live in today and wonder what "if".
