Obviously, this is not a complete list, but I thought it might be interesting to juxtapose political leaders who killed directly, or indirectly, millions and serial killers who killed handfuls of people. Hitler has been 'done to death' but people forget about 'Uncle Joe' Stalin and Chairman Mao. Stalin didn't kill as many as Hitler but because Stalin was 'our' son-of-a-bitch his gulags and deliberately induced famines got a free pass until sometime after WW2. Who killed the most? Read on.
Lately I have been exercising my stream of consciousness with one idea leading to something else and sometimes going in strange directions.
The Australian group, Skyhooks had some catchy and cheeky, sometimes even a little smutty, lyrics; one song which stuck in my brain was 'Ego is not a dirty word'. A Skyhooks event was the only band concert I ever bothered to go to and that at age 18, in the 1970s, at Festival Hall, Melbourne.
Anyhow, I began to wonder what my rampant ego, when it gets exercise, would look like.
Whenever I wait for a relative who is shopping, I get out the sketch pad.
