It IS an entertaining thought. My freshman survey class would drop down to maybe 5 students. Make MY life easier!

However, in addition to the problem with this solution that TS pointed out, there is also the fact that some of the worst serial killers are highly intelligent - Ted Bundy, for example - so you still wouldn't have eliminated all the predators.

true we wouldn't get 'em all, but we could make a dent in them... it's just the odds we're playing, after all. and if nothing else, it would be like throwing chlorine in the gene pool. and rush hour would probably be better too.

and it just seems more scienterific than killing all the people who annoy me.
