I remember in highschool talking to one of the most popular and athletic guys in my senior class, who seemed to me to 
be one of the nicer and truly decent people I had crossed paths with.  We got on the topic of what we would do if we 
knew the world would be ending in only 24 hours.  Without batting an eyelash he said rather happily, "I would get a 
big axe and bash in the skulls of everyone I came across!"  To this day I feel he was telling me what he really felt, 
rather than just saying it for effect.

I wonder how the world looked through his eyes during that time.  I just hope he does not get a terminal medical 
diagnosis any time soon if he still feels that way...
