David Brooks, "When the Good Do Bad": Steer Clear of the University of Texas

In his latest New York Times op-ed entitled "When the Good Do Bad" (http://www.nytimes.com/2012/03/20/opinion/brooks-when-the-good-do-bad.html?ref=opinion), David Brooks, writing about Robert Bales, observes:

"David Buss of the University of Texas asked his students if they had ever thought seriously about killing someone, and if so, to write out their homicidal fantasies in an essay. He was astonished to find that 91 percent of the men and 84 percent of the women had detailed, vivid homicidal fantasies. He was even more astonished to learn how many steps some of his students had taken toward carrying them out."

This is yet another instance where I am relieved to know that I fall into the minority. Please forgive me if I forgo any future speaking engagements at the University of Texas for fear of rubbing someone the wrong way.
