robert sapolsky has some very interesting things to say, regarding the societal benefits of conditions like schizophrenia and ocd. this video of one of his lectures is quite fascinating: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nEnklx

We avoided inner city streets because they were dangerous, and we relied on the police to keep people from those places out of our neighborhoods. Whatever they got, we figured they deserved. i find the last statement just as disturbing as
