You say that you're not sophisticated enough. But I think, Steve, with enough study and interest, that you, too, could become a fairly effective mass murderer. Anyone has the capacity, and it (doesn't) take a great deal of skill or thought to do it. The very nature of the crime - since it's based on opportunity - it's a relatively easy kind of crime to get away.

If the state can justify the taking of a life, then an individual can, for whatever twisted rationale.

TB: No, you haven't been soliciting my... soliciting me in that way. I mean it's just... I mean to say, "Well gee, why doesn't Hugh ever give me a detailed rundown on his childhood and his family life? What his kids are like? And his home? Is he cold? Is he calculating?" That's not it at all. That's not our goal here - to be, you know, long-lost...
HA: I'd tell you all that if you asked me, though.
TB: Yeah.
HA: But there's no reason for it to be that way.
TB: There's no reason for me to inquire into your love life or your domestic affairs. And yet, if I don't do that, people say, "Well, he's cold and distant."
