When reason is lost

There are few things more scary than a group of people driven beyond reason.

The Salem Witch Hunt is one excellent example. I read it in passing as part of my Psychology course, and the story chilled me to the bone.

How can people be so evil?

On one psychological level I can almost understand it, but on another I am completely at loss for words.

How can people be so evil?

Humanity is such a fragile thing.
