Re: (TFT) sociopaths and vampires

[Mark Tapley <mtapley@swri.edu>]

All,
	This is way less useful than the excellent treatises by Cas 
and rsmith. But I wanted to point it out.
	There have been many cases where two cultures regarded each 
other (and often with very good reasons) as "evil", even though the 
two were not natural enemies (except for competing for resources). 
Amerinds vs. European "settlers" is a prime example. True, the 
Europeans started the mess by trying to edge out the indians. But 
there was a long time where each culture indoctrinated its members 
that the others were evil, to the point that they expected horrible 
behaviour from the otherand gave (and expected) no quarter when they 
met.
	I'd say that given the natural antipathy between vampires and 
normal humans, if there are cultural influences at work, each would 
regard the other as "evil" sheerly due to historic inertia - and each 
group would probably perform acts which would perpetuate the 
stereotypes.
