I might add that having subsequently become a Buddhist I have found no evidence what-so-ever in Buddhist texts to support the idea that Buddhists secretly enjoyed a good punch up. I think the whole thing was a legitimisation myth, kind of like the King Arthur story, for what we would now call terrorist organisations engaged in insurgency.

That last phrase describes the druggies perfectly. Too bad they aren't included with the so-called war on terror.
