In factI think that the opposite of your conclusion is more accurate - IMHO it does not happen more often because people are NOT by nature inherently evil and filled with the 'banality' of lack of thought and compassion - if they were such attrocities would be commonplace. Just a thought for your consideration - you may be far less cyncial than you believe. Thank you for your wonderfully kind comment.
