Hey Donuel, I thought your point about neurotoxins was a good one, and I'm sorry that it degenerated into a whimsical discussion of fluoridation.

I've worked in psychiatric hospitals where causal links were established between the presence of certain chemical compounds, pesticides in rural communities, particularly, which may indeed have led to startling behavioral changes, including violence. There are times around here when I wish that clever responders would place a greater value on civility.

And I appreciated Rapaire's observation that the perpetrator most certainly knew that these were non-resistive Christians who would not have raised a hand in self-defense. It clarifies the nature of the crime, and depicts the victims in a light we might otherwise have not seen.
