anyone in this country for what, 12 years? Perhaps I look sweet and innocent?

"Today tragedy struck a very small town. The town's 
only parking lot caught fire and burned to the ground.
The police chief had this to say: 'It was either one 
psychopath, full of hate... or a group of five psychopaths 
with 20 percent of the hate for each.'" -- John F. Stepp
