The death of anti-racism protester Heather Heyer in Charlottesville, Virginia on Aug. 12 is one of the most high-profile examples of white extremist violence in the United States since Timothy McVeigh killed 168 people in Oklahoma City on April 19, 1995. But though not each incident makes national headlines, a tally kept by the Southern Poverty Law Center indicates that the murder of law enforcement officials and innocent civilians by race obsessives, anti-government paranoiacs, and other believers in white fringe movements has been depressingly common in the two decades since Timothy McVeigh's attack. Below (taken from SPLC's records, confirmed by outside news accounts, and supplemented with additional research) is a list of 35 deadly attacks since Oklahoma Citycomprising a total of 74 victimscarried out or believed to have been carried out by white extremists.

Does testosterone make people violent? Why does this continue to be a "men only" club throughout the the past two thousand+ years of societies and civilizations. Why are they so uncivilized? Why don't their brains control their violent tendencies? How do we change this?

But I do think we need to elect more female leaders.
