Re: unparalleled human cruelty?

    At what in my post did I argue for genetics?  Did I cite Lorenz or Freud? 
 No.  I cited HISTORY.

You should be careful when you read.  I never, nor would I, touch upon WHY 
people do what they do on this list, it is too PC.  As far as certain list 
members prediliction toward reading things into other people's posts, I find 
it irresponsible.  
    Rather than recommending books to me that I have already read, may I 
recommend careful reading of the original post or a book on the proper use of 
projective techniques.

Irritated,
