Sexual Rage Post

Jack, I love you like a brother, but, hey, just answer me this: except for 
Osama Bin Laden (who seems like a psycho to me and could well be termed a 
serial killer), where do the most "serial killers" per capita reside--the 
middle east, or the dear old USA? My chances of being offed in this country 
are  a good deal greater from a sexually frusrated All-American serial 
killer than from a sex-crazed middle-eastern terrorist. Think about it!
