"Americans believe in three freedoms. Freedom of speech; freedom of religion; and the freedom to deny the other two to folks they don`t like.” --Mark Twain
well... mostly the question has no answer and it would simply lead to arguementation. OR... the answer is here on the boards anyway, already.
But I do like your scenario, Pzarq. a zoological analogy. more fun to imagine.

Thanks for the link Miulang. Reading that story brought back many lost memories about the place including the soap box derbies, I even got some vintage 8mm black and white movies of those events.
I also remember the community picnics at Ala Moana Beach Park too with the sack races. That really was a great time. I also remember Ed Pacheco as well. I was president of one of the three subgroups of Kaimuki Little League (The Orioles) and sat on the district 6 or was it 7 board. Our league spanned from Manoa to Hawaii Kai but Palolo was blanked out because of it's own Little League charter (Palolo Little League). Ed approached me to have his league play against us. I told him I would arrange for an exhibition game at the Palolo Rec center/field to see if Palolo had really changed. We stopped playing years earlier because of some tension between the neighboring communities and Palolo.
At the time the president of the neighborhood board and the housing project told us that times had changed and it would be safe for the kids to play in Palolo.
That day we had to stop the game twice because three blahlahs from the project across the street kept walking across the field during play throwing their beer bottles and swearing at the kids on the field. After the game several of our "visiting" team cars had their tires slashed and one windshield broken. A fight nearly broke out with an older father from our league and a housing tenant that didn't like us being there.
I told Ed that I was saddened because of what happened that day but events such as those wouldn't allow our league to consider playing with them unless things improved a bit more. He said he would have a talk to those "boys" that caused trouble but I couldn't convince the rest of the KLL to reconsider after his motion to moderate. Too bad because I would have loved to see Palolo play with us.
I'm glad things have gotten better there. Palolo used to be a really safe place then it got pretty bad, I guess it's reclaiming some of it's innocence of yesteryear...and that's good. Maybe KLL will reconsider again, that would be nice.
Life is what you make of it...so please read the instructions carefully.
