Two girls in the same place planning a murder together would fail insanity. One could be insane and the other crazy, but honestly, I think people have just become mean, evil jerks lately. Why? I have no clue. Not enough discipline? Parents who let their kids watch movies like sinister? Parents who don't put filters on their porn machines or networks? Or, have there always been just evil people out there and now we hear more stories only because the world is smaller?
I find it amusing that other countries claim the USA has a lot more evil people when a) there are a lot more people in the USA and b) many of these countries hide their trash rather well.

point being...once can be sane & have purely selfish motives. its only our shared values that deliver justice.
