I
know there is a syndrome in babies born to women who took crank or
crack during their gestation where the part of the brain that
comprehends empathy is stunted. The physical bit which recognizes that
other humans are people like them just doesn't exist or is too warped
to work properly. As adults they're sociopaths.
Now
I'm wondering if there was something in the kashi pablum or
or<i>gaaaa</i>nic baby smoothies these kids were fed that
has the same effect?
...or
is it just that our Mothers would give us such a smack the first time we'd have uttered a similar
sentiment in our childlike savagery that we took a second look and
connected those dots?
Savagery, indeed.
