you have just stated the difference i was referring to for me; deliberate torture vs exploring the environment…i assure you, if you see a child set fire to a cat or a dog, or try to draw blood, or try to make the animal scream, you may well be having lots of meetings with school officials, and law enforcement people later in life regarding the same child…i see that in your post you restated that you do not believe in innate ‘goodness’ or ‘evil’…guess we’ll have to agree to disagree on that [img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]
