Anders this is impossible sir.  You have far too much residual nice hanging
all over you.  To extricate you from that deep pit of nice, that morass of
kindheartedness would be beyond reasonable national budgets and current
technology, regardless of how much filthy lucre we were to shower upon you.
We could not make you mean or aggressive any more than we could make the
three-toed sloth a carnivorous sprinter.  It's just deep within the basic
nature of the beast: sloths are slow, you are nice.
