A nitpicky point, perhaps: Yes, we are surrounded by killers. Many of us are one step away from killing, given the proper stimulus. But I think that even guys who are in prison for murder are pretty far from serial killers. They're really a breed apart, and even within their own ranks defy taxonomy. I don't have the context of your radio guy's argument, but BTK is a completely different creature than most of the rest of us.
