Elphaba: thanks for the info and I'm going to look into that a bit further later on.
As for multiple personalities, it is often used as a scapegoat to try to get someone off for reason of insanity. However, there was one case that spurred my interest in this area. When I was living in Ohio, there was a local crime section. I found a book about a man named Billy Milligan. This man had many personalities and was diagnosed. His voice would change and he had different skills with each personality. It was an interesting book and I believe they're making a movie about him now. Anyway, he was a serial killer around Athens and Columbus, Ohio because of his mental illness.
Has anyone known anyone that was schizophrenic or multiple personality? I realize that is topic changing, but I'm more into the psychology of things than court cases. And I'm sure that no one knows any serial killers...but if you do that would be interesting to hear about too.
Also, as I read through the posts, I wonder what gives someone the god-like complex. What occurs or is the turning point htat makes a person say "I'm god and it's my duty to rid the earth of *insert whatever type of victim*"?
