Dangerous Questions -

I referred to this site a while back. Sitting enjoying chicken teriaki on noodles and having a quiet read and I flicked into this which seems a propos my last little item...

David Buss and "The Evolution of Evil"
I will submit only his final para, the rest is an interesting read.

On reflection, the dangerous idea may not be that murder historically has been advantageous to the reproductive success of killers; nor that we all house homicidal circuits within our brains; nor even that all of us are lineal descendants of ancestors who murdered. The danger comes from people who refuse to recognize that there are dark sides of human nature that cannot be wished away by attributing them to the modern ills of culture, poverty, pathology, or exposure to media violence. The danger comes from failing to gaze into the mirror and come to grips the capacity for evil in all of us.

Hmmm, "failing to gaze into the mirror and come to grips with the capacity for evil in all of us".

Yes.
