6) tradition... why do people buy T-shirts.. to say, "I was there. I did that. You haven't and look how few are able to do what I did."

The FarSide had a great cartoon of this... a guy shoot a bear peacefully sipping from a stream with bambi at his side.... he mounts it in the most fearsome pose claiming "it was either the bear or me"
7) Convenience and laziness. It's a mentality of "I can, so why not?"
careful to criticize, it may seem like a reach, but.... why the cobra?
