While I do agree that to some extent violence has been "civilized out" of many modern folks, it would seem to me that much of what has been said about Askins falls into a different category here.

It sure sounds like his reaction to stress was to kill someone. That's a little different.

I've been around a few dangerous people in my life, though the danger wasn't mortal danger (at that time anyway); they just got violent very, very quickly and easily and and once it got started it was a pretty blind thing. I'd hate to have to spend much time with someone who was wired like that AND was famous for flat killing people.

But then, I'm not wired that way, not at all.

The CENTER will hold.
