Which is good. At first glance, it seemed more rhetorical than serious; I'm glad I took the time to read it carefully. It's a serious question, and I'm glad you raised it in a serious manner.

Because people are people, and we are no different than any of our most savage of ancestors, the answer can only be yes, it is possible.

That said, the question becomes what set of circumstances could reasonably be viewed as creating the foundation for such an event? And while there have been numerous examples of such behavior in human history, the most important for our understanding of the potential is obviously Nazi Germany. And so we would do well to examine what led Germany to become Nazi Germany?

On the thread "Religion and Science," (or is it "Science and Religion"?) we discuss this. I have spoken about Jung's predictions of the "Blond Beast" rising in Germany shortly after WW1, based upon his noting certain archetypal images that were becoming constant in a large percentage of the people he dealt with. Look closely at this issue, and then look closely at the imagery that the republican party uses to promote their death cult activities.

Again, very good question. I think that as we are a global community, that we need to recognize that this type of horror will not recognize borders; it will focus on specific groups identified as "enemies."
