Default The Monopoly Murders

http://www.intellectualconservative....ticle4793.html

My landlady at the time, who hailed from the Isle of Man and was over eighty years old, told me a delightful story of how her mother would instruct her that if she “wasn’t a good girl,” Jack-the-Ripper would “get her!” One supposes that the woman’s child-rearing methodology produced a plethora of demure and obedient offspring.

Serial murder has always been defined as a psychosis, which is the only way modernity can conceive of such behavior; contextualized within a “scientific” definition while ignoring the moral conscience. It seems to me serial murderers purposefully live outside the human condition, both mentally and spiritually, and chose to do so to facilitate a cacoethes to destroy human life.

But, whatever the cause, serial murderers have grown in number and, if memory serves and FBI statistics are correct, there are thousands of unapprehended serial murderers stalking about as I write.
