I believe I was the one who brought Dahmer into this thread, and I would like to thank you for defending it, Tippy, far more articulately than I could have done. Here are some other examples of how love has drawn people to unreasonable, if not sick, heights:
*Abraham, desperate to please the god he so loved, was prepared to sacrifice his own son before an angel stopped him.

*Menelaus, desperate to get his wife Helen back from Paris, sieged Troy for ten years, all for love.

*The Crusaders, having such love in their hearts for Christianity, invaded the Holy Land, slaying all the Arabs they found in the city of Jerusalem.

*The followers of David Koresh, so in love with their leader, surrendered their wives, their daughters, and lastly, even their lives, when the Branch Davidians were besieged by the F.B.I. in Waco, Texas.

Sorry, that's all I can think of for now, this is early for me, even if it's a Saturday.
