Interesting post, dvddrone.

I would also add, that in addition, we should ask why does the US have a much higher percentage of mass murderers than any other country? Some people have the genetic potential, but environmental factors help determine who act on it. An explanation I'd suggest is the role of our own government. We don't know how many thousands of people have been victims of mind control experiments in the US, but it's a lot, and way more than any other country. Little known fact: both Jeffrey Dahmer and Ted Kazinski were participants in MKUltra experiments when younger. There was a fascinating Atlantic Monthly article about the Unabomber about a year ago that looked into the MKUltra experiments that messed up his mind while he was studying at Harvard.

The US treats it's people like guinea pigs, usually without their knowledge. In fact, my father was exposed to a nuclear bomb test explosion while a soldier in the 1950s, and my mother was an unwitting subject in CIA experimentation into LSD while taking a Psych 101 course in college. Luckily neither suffered ill effects.

I think it would be a really interesting study to look at all the mass murderers and see how many more of them were experimentation victims. We've made a lot of really damaged people, just like all the messed up Vietnam war vets.
