The mind is terrible

I've heard the mind is a terrible thing to waste. What exactly does that mean? Take a serial killer for instance. He's using his mind to the best of his ability, does that mean it is wasted or isn't wasted? Most psychiatrists will blame their behavior on abuse, but not all people who have been abused become serial killers. There are three forms of abuse, verbal, physical and sexual. Although a pattern may form some people supress the past and have no reprocussions at all. In the case of Jeffery Dahmer and John Wayne Gacy, neither were sexually abused as young boys. They were both physically and verbally abused. Perhaps they were acting out their hatred toward themselves for having an attraction to men. John Wayne Gacy was married and had two children, it is estimated that he picked up some 2000 young men. Gacy molested and murdered at least 33 men. Dahmer was arrested for molesting a 13 year old boy, but only served 10 months of a one year sentence. He was then released and allowed to do it again. The laws of every state are different, especially during that time. The irony of Dahmer's situation is that he seemed more attracted to darker males and he worked in a chocolate factory. I just thought I'd throw that in. It was never brought out in any of the files. The Dahmer film was better this second go round as was the Gacy film. The first time I saw a film on Gacy was on television and Brian Denehy gave an incredible performance. I kept comparing this film to that one, but this time I was able to separate the two. It's a shame how some people can just turn up missing and no one seems to care until it's too late. The remainder of this weeks films, The Pianist, Kalifornia, Apartment Zero, Seven, and Dead Calm. Thanks for stopping by, keep an open mind.
