They seemed excited at the prospect of doing it up close and personal rather than with the distance and detachment that comes with modern weapons. Kind of an eye opener for me.

      Spend some time talking to those who have been to real combat. The true killers are the beatie eyed quiet kids who never go after any attention.

      I'm choosing to mostly ignore your fatuity here and instead overwhelm you with so much data that you'll maybe, just maybe, realize that you have reams to read on this subject before you can contribute meaningfully to any conversation on this topic.

        I've heard Manson didn't start talking until he was 17 years old.

I don't know. My parents were pretty absentee, and we did a lot of self-raising. Maybe that will make a difference in Little Robin's life and he will avoid making some of my mistakes. I sure hope so.
          I don't know. It seems to me there is a wide gulf between property damage and actual physical violence against another human.
