<div>Hello,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Did quite a lot of that work, actually, early on. Some published, some not. None of it supports this mans assertions. Quite the opposite. I mean, sure, I've met "bad guys" who are clinically DSM 295.whatever but no more than I see walking down the street in a big city. But the actual research on the populations just doesn't support they are having an "illness" that is genetic or that they are "more intelligent" than the guy in the next room. </div>
