The "hint" was not needed. I know that it's not a good idea to read too much into a "frozen moment in time," but that is one miserable, messed-up looking kid. Check out this article, the apparent source of the photo:

More from the article:

"He especially was obsessed with tape and glue. Along the midpoint of our desk, Stephen laid down a piece of white masking tape, explaining that it marked the boundary of our sides and that I was not to cross it. The formality of this struck me as odd. I was a fairly neat kid, at least at school, and I had never spread my things to his side of the desk. Stephen, meanwhile, could not have been much messier: His side of the desk was sticky and peeling, littered with scraps of paper, misshapen erasers and pencil nubs."

and

"What to make of this now, 25 years later? We were all grimy kids at some point, of course, with sticky hands and short attention spans. But it is at least poetic that Stephen was bent on building a nonsensical wall even back then, a wall that had more to do with what lay inside him than with what lay beyond. He thought he was trying to keep out the chaos of the world, when really he was looking for a way to explain away the chaos on his own side of the desk. For that was where chaos had always been."

Is that a permanent tattoo on his forehead to warn others he of his presence in the immediate area ?

I've always wondered if leaders on the Right were born evil, or if they learned to be that way later in life.

Now I know.
