Subject: Some responses I've got.

An update on my theory. I have shared my theory with a number of people. And I have been very interested by some of their responses.

A few of the responses were encouraging. Many were cautiouly skeptical. A novel and movie that was often brought up when I mentioned my unique theory was "A Clockwork Orange", a disturbing, at times almost obscene, drama set in the future. The key character is rehabilitated, but at the expense of his free will. I have always held for any treatment for antisocial behavior to work, the person must accept the treatment willingly. Of course the character accepts the treatment willingly--at first. I finally saw the movie. I really enjoyed it too, although I disagree with part of the premise.

Finally, what I have always hoped for is to share my theory with someone who is already studying this very subject matter, perhaps in some university or something. Perhaps then I can convince them to devote some of their resources to my dream--a medicine that actually resensitizes the affected parts of the brain of a morally unstable person.

To all who have read my board, I thank you :).
