Beatnik (middle-class philosophic hobo, and great protagonist of poetic justice)

Why is it that people always rate levels of violence with reference to the insect world? What I mean is, if some fellow's dog is barking at you and you appear nervous, the above-mentioned chap will likely try to console you with something like, "don't worry, he wouldn't hurt a fly". This bothers me, and frankly, I still don't trust his dog. I think we should guage violence by things we all really hate. For example, if he had said something like, say, "don't worry, he wouldn't harm a Nazi", I might reply with something like, "Wow, that must be some friendly pooch. Say, do you suppose he'd eat this doggie treat from right out of my mouth?" See my point?
