I took this photo at a dog show of all places. Not sure if this woman was making a joke or not--ha, ha--get it? This is MY dog!--either way, not cool. Anyhow, it got me thinking about criminal profiling and John Douglas. You know, John Douglas, the FBI guy whose investigative techniques were the basis for Silence of the Lambs. His whole thing was getting beyond mere motive--and instead, profiling the type of person who would commit a certain crime. He interviewed numerous serial killers, sexual sadists and the like, and discovered that most of them had things in common in regards to their upbringing. Most were bedwetters and/or stutterers with very repressive, authoritarian mothers. Most of them, as children, enjoyed torturing and killing small animals. Perhaps most of them wore a leash as well?
