If that were true, I (by all statistics that apply to the way I was raised and where I should be) would be a homicidal maniac in prison for mass murder.

Resiliancy made the difference in me.

You can't touch a genetic base with environment...genetics are what they are and cannot be changed without evolution playing a part. (or surgery )

Also, Revruby, to add a twist to your statement about personality traits...my 21 year old son is exactly like his father in many ways including personality and physical characteristics including not only how he looks but also how he acts (hand motions, the way he walks etc.) and he has never laid eyes on the man.
