> Yes, it is scary. There was something else about those experiments that was very interesting and I can't remember what it was. It had something to do with an analysis of the people that were told to give the shocks. People with certain types of occupations tended to follow the orders blindly, whereas others would question them or stopped much sooner. I wish I could remember that information.

Even if you could remember it might not be relevant today. Just knowing about the original experiments might be enough to make people respond differently today. The results have influenced the way several generations raised their children to think about authority.
