The only thing we know for sure is that almost all serial killers, male or female, spawn in the cruel pool of their childhood, starting as victims. Every serial killer is the first victim in their own history—little girls and boys who should have been loved, cared for, and nurtured, but were not. It’s not about excusing their horrific acts, but about the place where we could make it stop before it ever becomes—in the child’s heart. If only we could.
The feminists are right about one thing: We live under a wealthy autocracy of some sort that strives to classify, divide, and rule us. The media and the mall are its henchmen droogs. This nebulous autocracy encourages mass consumption, social and intellectual degradation, and dumb, mindless acquiescence to force and violence. Women are victimized by it, as are equally men and children. There is no special gynocide. There is only democide—the murder of everyone equally. Not only the killing of people, but of ATWA as well—Air Trees Water Animals. Charlie Manson said, “You are either working for ATWA—life—or you’re working for death. Fix it and live or run from it and die.”262
Manson can seem to make sense because his hillbilly-boy pain was real. It was his acts that were evil. But if Charlie can take truth and make it into a lie, then perhaps we can at least take some of his pain-borne lies and redeem them for the truth. It’s up to us.
Love each other and never kill for any reason no matter what. Just don’t do it.
