Thanks, John, I didn't know that Milgram had a website. In fact, I didn't even think of looking for one. >not famous enough to have his name stolen and held hostage as the domain name for a porno website You wouldn't be referring to our dear, departed Tom Byron, would you?! >But do I really want any more insight into the dark side of humanity? I thought his conclusions were very important in that he pointed out that Holocaust-type behaviour was a manifestation of all societies, including the US, and arose, not from people being "bad", but "good". In fact, the "dark" side, as you call it, is the "good" side. In my opinion, his invaluable contribution was the exposure of the contradiction and his recommendation that the individual should always use his own conscience, especially in the circumstance of harmful or noxious acts instructed by "faceless" superiors. In fact, he was simply saying that we should always respect and have consideration for others, whoever they are. I haven't read "The selfish gene". Maybe I will. Sounds interesting. Thanks.
